Question

Which statement accurately describes the equations below (i) - 4/3 > -1.3. (ii) 1/2 < 0.5

Am I correct or is it the first option

Answer 1

Answer:

Both are false.

Step-by-step explanation:

i)-4/3 in decimal terms is -1.333... (repeating 3).

-1.3 is greater. In negative terms, the smaller the number is (ignoring negative symbol), the greater the number is.

ii) 1/2 = 0.5

Therefore it is false as 1/2 is not less than 0.5; it is simply the same.
