Answer: Choice D) -6 < -5
================================================
Explanation:
Let's go through the answer choices
- A) This is false because -2 is actually larger than -5. Make a number line and you'll see that -2 is to the right of -5. Numbers on the right are larger than numbers on the left.
- B) This is also false. The value 0 is smaller than 2. A number line might help show this.
- C) Also false. It should be 4 > -4. Any positive number is always larger than any negative number.
- D) This is true. On a number line, -6 is to the left of -5, so -6 is smaller than -5. This makes -6 < -5 a true statement.
