Solution

The new number will be farther from the origin than -3.4.

Here's why:

Step 1: Identify the original number on the number line, which is -3.4.

Step 2: Subtract 1 from the original number. The calculation is -3.4 - 1 = -4.4.

Step 3: Compare the positions of -3.4 and -4.4 on the number line.

On the number line, numbers to the right are greater and numbers to the left are lesser. The number -4.4 is to the left of -3.4, meaning it is less than -3.4.

Step 4: Determine the distance from the origin.

The origin on the number line is 0. Numbers that are less than 0 are negative and are considered to be "farther" from the origin the more negative they are.

So, -4.4 is farther from the origin than -3.4.
