True or False? 3<-4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The statement reads +3 is less than -4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "One way to picture this is to envision the number line. Less than means \"lies to the left
\n" ); document.write( "of\" on the number line. So think of asking yourself this question, \"Does +3 lie to the
\n" ); document.write( "left of -4 on the number line?\" The answer to this question is that +3 lies to the right of
\n" ); document.write( "the -4, so it is NOT true to say that +3 is to left of -4. Therefore, it is not true to
\n" ); document.write( "say that +3<-4.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The answer to the original question is False.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps you to understand the concept of \"less than\" and how it correlates to
\n" ); document.write( "\"to the left of\" on the number line. \n" ); document.write( "
