Answer: The friend won the round.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the lowest score.

The lowest score means the smallest value.

With intergers, as the number gets farther away from zero to the left, the smaller the value is. The middle number is zero on a number line. The numbers to the left of zero are negative. The number to the write of zero are positive.

As you move to the left on the number line, the numbers get smaller. As you move to the right on a number line, the values get bigger

Since - 4 is farther away from zero to the left on a number line than - 3, - 4 is smaller.

Hence - 4 is smaller than - 3. - 4 is one more to the left than - 3 so - 4 is smaller than - 3.

Hence the friend won the round.
