Question

-1/7 is greater than all of the following except _____.

−1
− 1/3
−2
−0.1

Answer 1

To compare \(-\frac{1}{7}\) with the given numbers, let's first convert them to decimal form for easier comparison:

1. \(-\frac{1}{7} \approx -0.142857\)
2. \(-1.0\)
3. \(-\frac{1}{3} \approx -0.3333\)
4. \(-2.0\)
5. \(-0.1\)

Now let's compare \(-\frac{1}{7}\) with each of the numbers:

- \(-\frac{1}{7} \approx -0.142857\) is greater than \(-1\) (since \(-1 < -0.142857\)).
- \(-\frac{1}{7} \approx -0.142857\) is greater than \(-\frac{1}{3} \approx -0.3333\) (since \(-0.3333 < -0.142857\)).
- \(-\frac{1}{7} \approx -0.142857\) is greater than \(-2\) (since \(-2 < -0.142857\)).
- \(-\frac{1}{7} \approx -0.142857\) is also greater than \(-0.1\) (since \(-0.1 > -0.142857\)).

Therefore, the only number from the options provided which is greater than \(-\frac{1}{7}\) is \(-0.1\).

So the answer is:

\(-0.1\)

Answer 2

are you sure?

Answer 3

Let's review the comparisons carefully.

We are comparing \(-\frac{1}{7}\) with the following numbers:
1. \(-1\)
2. \(-\frac{1}{3}\)
3. \(-2\)
4. \(-0.1\)

First, converting \(-\frac{1}{7}\) to a decimal:
\[
-\frac{1}{7} \approx -0.142857
\]

Now, comparing this value to each of the options:

1. **Comparing with \(-1\)**:
\[
-0.142857 > -1 \quad \text{(True)}
\]

2. **Comparing with \(-\frac{1}{3}\)**:
\[
-\frac{1}{3} \approx -0.3333 \quad \Rightarrow -0.142857 > -0.3333 \quad \text{(True)}
\]

3. **Comparing with \(-2\)**:
\[
-0.142857 > -2 \quad \text{(True)}
\]

4. **Comparing with \(-0.1\)**:
\[
-0.142857 < -0.1 \quad \text{(True)}
\]

From these comparisons, \(-0.1\) is indeed greater than \(-\frac{1}{7}\).

Thus, the correct interpretation is that \(-\frac{1}{7}\) is greater than all the other numbers except \(-0.1\).

So, the final answer remains:

**The answer is \(-0.1\)**.
