Pregunta 22

Select all true statements about -50 and -1.

  1. -50 is the lower of the two values.Respuesta correcta
  2. -50 lies further from zero than -1.Respuesta correcta
  3. -50 is the greater value, because 50 is greater than 1.
  4. -1 lies nearer zero and is therefore the greater value.Respuesta correcta
  5. The two values are equally far from zero.

Explicación

Among negatives a value falls as its magnitude grows, so a quantity of size fifty ranks below a quantity of size one while lying much further from zero, which settles the ranking and the two distances together. Reading the digits straight through the minus sign reverses that ranking, because it orders sizes rather than values.
