Which of the following is the least integer greater than -4.6?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A: -5 B: -4.7 C: -4.5 D: -4 E: -3
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "-4.6 is about where the o is below on the number line:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "----------o-------------------------------------------\r\n" );
document.write( "-7  -6  -5  -4  -3  -2  -1   0   1   2   3   4   5   6\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It can't be B or C because they aren't integers\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It has to be farther to the right on the number line that -4.6.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It can't be -5 because -5 is to the left of -4.6, so\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "the answer has to be -4, since it's closer on the right of -4.6 than -3.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the answer is D: -4.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
