The positions of two divers from the water's surface after a dive are shown:

Sal: - 38 feet

Sam: - 45 feet

Which inequality explains why Sal is closer to the surface than Sam?

Because - 38 > - 45, so - 38 is closer to 0 than - 45

Because - 38 < - 45, so - 38 is closer to 0 than - 45

Because - 38 > - 45, so - 38 is farther from 0 than - 45

Because - 38 < - 45, so - 38 is farther from 0 than - 45
