James measures the water level from the top of a dock twice a day. The water level in the
morning is -2 feet. The water level in the afternoon is -6.5 feet. Which statement about the
relationship between the two measurements is true?
A. A water level of -6.5 feet is higher than a water level of -2 feet, as -6.5 > -2.
B. A water level of -2 feet is lower than a water level of -6.5 feet, as -2>-6.5.
C. A water level of -6.5 feet is the same as a water level of -2 feet, as -6.5 = -2.
D. A water level of -2 feet is higher than a water level of -6.5 feet, as -2> -6.5.
Step-by-step explanation:If James is measuring the water level in the morning and it’s -2 feet and the water in the afternoon is -6.5 -2 is closer to the dock than -6.5 so it’s greater than -6.5 feet.
