\n" ); document.write( "Therefore,
\n" ); document.write( "-4.219 > -4.921
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "which makes sense on a number line
\n" ); document.write( "----------------*--------------------*----------------*
\n" ); document.write( "------------ -4.921 -------------- -4.219 ------------0
\n" ); document.write( "----------- -5 ------------------------- -4 -------------0
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "confirm by rounding
