To find the number greater than -0.7, we should compare each given option to -0.7 one by one. Let's analyze each option step by step:
- Option A: -0.71
- [tex]\(-0.71\)[/tex] is slightly less than [tex]\(-0.7\)[/tex], so [tex]\(-0.71\)[/tex] is not greater than [tex]\(-0.7\)[/tex].
- Option B: -0.69
- [tex]\(-0.69\)[/tex] is numerically greater than [tex]\(-0.7\)[/tex] because [tex]\(-0.69\)[/tex] is closer to zero. Therefore, [tex]\(-0.69\)[/tex] is greater than [tex]\(-0.7\)[/tex].
- Option C: [tex]\(-\frac{7}{10}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(-\frac{7}{10}\)[/tex] is exactly [tex]\(-0.7\)[/tex]. Since we are looking for a number greater than [tex]\(-0.7\)[/tex], this option does not qualify.
- Option D: -0.701
- [tex]\(-0.701\)[/tex] is slightly less than [tex]\(-0.7\)[/tex]. Therefore, [tex]\(-0.701\)[/tex] is not greater than [tex]\(-0.7\)[/tex].
After comparing all the options, we find that the only number greater than [tex]\(-0.7\)[/tex] is:
B: -0.69
So, the correct answer is:
Option B: -0.69.
