1.7 < - 1

:True or false and why?

9.8 < 8.9

:True or false and why?

Answer: false because - 1 is a negative

and true because 9.8 is greater the 8.9

The first on would be false because - 1 is a negative number and 1.7 is a positive number and all positive numbers are greater than negative numbers so this would be false

9.8 is more than 8.9 so the second one would be false as well because 8 comes before 9
