    Show your work

    Hint −3.5 is halfway between −4 and −3. Put all four on a number line.

    Final answer:

Explain your thinkingMax thought −10 > −2 because 10 > 2. Why is −10 less? Use the number line in your answer.

Sentence starter −10 is less than −2 because on the number line ___. · For negative numbers, the one farther from 0 is ___.
