Solution

The answer is "Closer to the origin than -3.4".

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. We start with the number 3.4 on the real number line.

  2. We subtract 1 from this number, which gives us 2.4.

  3. Now, we compare the positions of -3.4 and 2.4 on the real number line.

  4. The origin (0) is the midpoint of the real number line.

  5. Negative numbers are to the left of the origin and positive numbers are to the right.

  6. Therefore, 2.4 is closer to the origin than -3.4.
