Answer:
1A: -282 < 203
1B: -282 < 157
Step-by-step explanation:
The examples below is gonna be comparing x and y, two variables that have some random definition that I don't wanna talk about. :D
This is talking about inequalities, which mean greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to, which is about comparing two or more sets of data.
Death Valley has the least elevation as can be seen by comparing the -282, the 203, and the -157.
We can easily set up the inequalities, as Death Valley has the least, so
Death Valley < Tallahassee, Westmorland
That sign between the three locations mean that Death Valley has less value than the other two.
Tallahassee has the highest elevation, as the other two locations, Death Valley and Westmorland are both in the negatives.
We know that -157 is greater than -282, as it is closer to 0.
Therefor, Death Valley is the least, and Tallahassee is the highest.
NOTE: THE VALUES ARE TALKING ABOUT SEA LEVEL. THE ELEVATION OF THE LOCATIONS RELATIVE TO THE SEA (WHICH IS 0)
