Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 7 - 24

Therefore, 3 more than -1 = 2

(ii) 5 less than 2

To get 5 less than 2, from 2 move 5 units to the left of 2 to get -3

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 7 - 25

Therefore, 5 less than 2 = -3

(iii) 5 more than -9

To get 5 more than -9, from -9 move 5 units to the right of -9 to get -4

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 7 - 26

Therefore, 5 more than -9 = -4

(iv) 4 less than -4

To get 4 less than -4, from -4 move 4 units to the left of -4 to get -8

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 7 - 27

Therefore, 4 less than -4 = -8

(v) 7 more than 0

To get 7 more than 0, from 0 move 7 units to the right of 0 to get 7

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 7 - 28

Therefore, 7 more than 0 = 7

(vi) 7 less than -8

To get 7 less than -8, from -8 move 7 units to the left of -8 to get -15

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 7 - 29

Therefore, 7 less than -8 = -15
