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.(1 point) Responses 285 > −282 > −184 > 52 285 is greater than negative 282 is greater than negative 184 is greater than 52 285 > 52 > −282 > −184 285 is greater than 52 is greater than negative 282 is greater than negative 184 285 > 52 > −184 > −282 285 is greater than 52 is greater than negative 184 is greater than negative 282 −282 < −184 < 52 < 285

1 answer

To order the altitudes from highest to lowest, let's list them first:

  • 285 ft
  • 52 ft
  • -184 ft
  • -282 ft

Now, when we compare the values:

  1. 285 ft is the highest.
  2. 52 ft is higher than -184 ft.
  3. -184 ft is higher than -282 ft.

Thus, in inequality form, the order from highest to lowest is:

285 > 52 > -184 > -282

The correct response is:

285 > 52 > −184 > −282
