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