Which number can be inserted in the parentheses to make the statement true? negative 3 and one-fourth is greater than left-parenthesis space right-parenthesis

A. negative 3
B. 2 and one-half
C. negative 1 and one-half
D. negative 5 and one-third

Answer :

The correct answer is D, -5 1/3.

The reason is that on a number line -3 1/4 would be placed to the right of -5 1/3.

The further you are to the right on the number line, the bigger the number.
