The positions of two divers from the water's surface after a dive are shown:

Yong: - 15 feet

Maurine: - 12 feet

Which inequality explains why Maurine is closer to the surface than Yong?

Because - 12 < - 15, so - 12 is closer to 0 than - 15

Because - 12 > - 15, so - 12 is closer to 0 than - 15

Because - 12 < - 15, so - 12 is farther from 0 than - 15

Because - 12 > - 15, so - 12 is farther from 0 than - 15
