Romeo · Answer 1

-1 > - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first play, Mark's favorite team lost 3 yards. This mean a negative representation as is a lost: - 3.

In the second play, Mark's favorite team lost 1 yards. This mean a negative representation as is a lost: - 1.

When locating - 3 and - 1 in the number line, all the numbers to the right of the number - 3 are greater than this number.

From this we can say that the inequality statement is: - 1 > - 3.

This means that - 1 is greater than - 3.
