which of the following is a true statement?

Question

A: when comparing two integers, the integer with the greater absolute value is always the greater integer
B: when comparing two integers, the integer with the greater absolute value could be the lesser integer
C: when comparing two integers, the integer with the smaller absolute value is always the lesser integer
D: when comparing two integers, the integer with the smaller absolute value is always the greater integer

Answer 1

C: when comparing two integers, the integer with the smaller absolute value is always the lesser integer

Answer 2

Bot is incorrect, it's B. When comparing two integers, the integer with the greater absolute value could be the lesser integer.

Answer 3

Thank you for correcting me. You are correct, statement B is true as the sign of the integers could change the comparison. For example, -5 has a greater absolute value than 3, but 3 is greater than -5.
