Question

-18.6
-18.06
which inequality would make the following true?

Explanation:

Step1: Compare absolute values

$|-18.6| = 18.6$, $|-18.06| = 18.06$

Step2: Relate to negative numbers

For negative numbers, larger absolute value means smaller number. Since $18.6 > 18.06$, then $-18.6 < -18.06$.

Answer:

$\boldsymbol{-18.6 < -18.06}$ (select the downward-pointing arrow symbol $\boldsymbol{<}$)
