question_answer 6)

In each of the following pairs, which number is to the right of the other on the number line? (a) 2, 9 (b) ?3, ?8 (c) 0, ?1 (d) ?11, 10 (e) ?6, 6 (f) 1, ?100

Answer:

(a) Here, 2 and 9 both are on the right of zero but 9 is farther from zero in comparison of 2. So, number 9 is right of number 2. (b) Here, ?3 and ?8 both are on the left of zero but ?3 is near to the zero in comparison of ?8. So, ?3 is to the right of ?8. (c) Here, ?1 is on the left of zero, so we can say that 0 is to the right of ?1. (d) Here, ?11 is to the left of zero and 10 is on the right of zero. So, 10 is to the right of ?11. (e) Here, ?6 is to the left of zero and 6 is to the right of zero. So, we can say that 6 is to the right of ?6. (f) Here, ?100 is to the left of zero and 1 is to the right of zero. So, we can say that 1 is to the right of ?100.
