Question

A striped bass is swimming at an elevation of −3 feet, while a flounder is swimming at an elevation of −11 feet. Write and interpret a statement of order showing the elevation of the striped bass compared to the elevation of the flounder.(1 point) Responses −3 < −11 ; the bass is at a higher elevation than the flounder. negative 3 is less than negative 11 ; the bass is at a higher elevation than the flounder. −3 > −11 ; the flounder is at a higher elevation than the bass. negative 3 is greater than negative 11 ; the flounder is at a higher elevation than the bass. −3 > −11 ; the bass is at a higher elevation than the flounder. negative 3 is greater than negative 11 ; the bass is at a higher elevation than the flounder. −3 < −11 ; the flounder is at a higher elevation than the bass. negative 3 is less than negative 11 ; the flounder is at a higher elevation than the bass.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To compare the elevations of the striped bass and the flounder, we can express their elevations numerically and interpret those numbers.

The striped bass is at an elevation of -3 feet, and the flounder is at an elevation of -11 feet.

To write the statement of order: -3 (elevation of striped bass) is greater than -11 (elevation of flounder), since -3 is closer to zero than -11.

Thus, we can write: -3 > -11, which means the striped bass is at a higher elevation than the flounder.

The interpretation of this statement is: -3 is greater than -11; the bass is at a higher elevation than the flounder.

So, the correct choice from your options is: −3 > −11; the bass is at a higher elevation than the flounder. negative 3 is greater than negative 11; the bass is at a higher elevation than the flounder.
