## anonymous one year ago A girl's feet are negative 2 over 4 yards from the surface of a pool. A boy's feet are negative 3 over 4 yards from the surface of the pool. Determine whose feet are closer to the surface The girl's feet are closer to the surface of the pool because negative 2 over 4 > negative 3 over 4 The boy's feet are closer to the surface of the pool because negative 2 over 4 > negative 3 over 4 The girl's feet are closer to the surface of the pool because negative 2 over 4 < negative 3 over 4 The boy's feet are closer to the surface of the pool because negative 2 over 4 < negative 3 over 4

HI!!

2. misty1212

as your teacher what it means for something to be a negative distance from something else clearly they were not thinking properly

3. anonymous

what

4. misty1212

distance can only be positive

5. misty1212

" a girls feet are $$-\frac{2}{4}$$ yards from the surface of the pool" makes no sense

6. anonymous

so its not A

7. misty1212

this is what they want you to say The girl's feet are closer to the surface of the pool because negative 2 over 4 > negative 3 over 4

8. anonymous

so its C

9. misty1212

no it is A i would love to know where you got this question from

10. anonymous

11. misty1212
