The altitudes of four locations in california are 52 ft., −282 ft., 285 ft., and −184 ft. use inequality symbols to order these altitudes from highest to lowest. a. 285 > 52 > −282 > -184 b. -285 < 184 > 52 > 285 c. 285 > −282 > −184 > 52 d. 285 > 52 > −184 > -282

Answer 1

To order the altitudes from highest to lowest, we first note the values:

1. 285 ft.
2. 52 ft.
3. -184 ft.
4. -282 ft.

Now let's arrange them in order from highest to lowest:

1. 285 ft. (highest)
2. 52 ft.
3. -184 ft.
4. -282 ft. (lowest)

Thus, the correct ordering using inequality symbols is:

285 > 52 > -184 > -282

Looking at the options, the correct one is:

d. 285 > 52 > -184 > -282
