Question

Use the drop-down menus to compare −2.25 and −3.

Answer 1

I know you figured out the answer but I’ll still answer your question because I want to keep up my answering streak lol.

-2.25>-3 because -2.25 is on the right side of -3 on the number line

Answer 2

-2.5>-3 because the bigger a negative number is like -15,-18, etc the smaller it’s value actually gets so -2.5 is greater because it is closer to 0 on a number line.
