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)

Question

Responses

285 > 52 > −282 > −184
285 is greater than 52 is greater than negative 282 is greater than negative 184

−282 < −184 < 52 < 285
negative 282 is less than negative 184 is less than 52 is less than 285

285 > 52 > −184 > −282
285 is greater than 52 is greater than negative 184 is greater than negative 282

285 > −282 > −184 > 52

Answer 1

To order the altitudes from highest to lowest, we need to compare the four values:

• 285 ft
• 52 ft
• -184 ft
• -282 ft

The highest altitude is 285 ft, followed by 52 ft. Then we have -184 ft, which is higher than -282 ft.

So the correct ordering from highest to lowest is:

285 > 52 > -184 > -282

Therefore, the chosen response is:

285 > 52 > −184 > −282 285 is greater than 52 is greater than negative 184 is greater than negative 282.
