Standing on a lighthouse platform that is 76 feet above the ground, an observer sees a hot-air balloon 100 feet above him. On a number line, let 0 represent the position of the observer, and let the hot-air balloon’s position be on the positive side of 0. Which number sentence correctly compares the distances between the observer’s position and the ground and the observer’s position and the hot-air balloon? A. |76| > |-100| B. |76| = |-100|
C. |-76| > |100|
D. |-76| < |100|
