One fish is 4 feet below sea level. Another fish is 3 feet below sea level. write each position as an integer. Which integer is greater?

Sagot :

the first fish has an integer of -4 and the other fish has an integer of -3.
-3 is greater because -4 is one less of -3. If you put it on a line then -3 is closer to the 0 then -4.

Answer:

The greater integer is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the problem indicates that fishes are below sea level, you take into account that sea level is 0 feet, and from there, as they are below, you mark their positions as negative integers.

See picture below where fishes position is marked. You can see there that the fish that is in position -3 is the number nearest 0, so -3 is greater than -4.
