Warm-Up
✓ –5.3 ✓ –6 ▢ 3 ▢ –4 ▢ – 4.75

Practice

1.1 See number line above.

1.2 See number line above.

1.3 Yes.

Explanations vary. Opposite numbers are the same distance away from 0 . Since absolute
value is another way of saying how far away a number is from 0 , opposites have the same
absolute value.

2.1 –3.2 < 1.5 2.2 |–3.2| > |1.5| 2.3 2 > –1.5 2.4 |2| > |–1.5|

3 3 2.7 |–2.7| < |–4.5| 2.8 |–2.7| > – 4.5

2.5 2 > –1.5 2.6 2 = |–1.5|

3. –38 °C

Explanations vary. –38 °C is farther away from 0 in the negative direction, so it is colder.

4.1 1.6 (or 4.2 1.6 (or 4.3 16 4.4 1.6 (or
equivalent) equivalent) equivalent)

4.5 Responses vary. I notice that if you change the place value of both numbers in the same way,
the answer is the same. I wonder what other division sentences have the same value.
