Understanding Bank Balances: Comparing Debts with Inequalities

In this video, we learn how to compare bank account balances using inequalities by looking at two accounts: one with a balance of -$20 and the other with a balance of -$35. We write the inequality -$20 is greater than -$35 and explain why the account with -$20 has more money, as it represents a smaller debt. This real-world scenario demonstrates how to interpret and explain the order of rational numbers, particularly in the context of finances. This lesson aligns with Common Core Standard 6.NS.C.7b, which focuses on writing and explaining statements of order for rational numbers in everyday situations. Perfect for students wanting to better understand how inequalities apply to financial situations!
