1. Fill in the blanks, using the following number line:

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 7 - 1

(i) An integer, on the given number line, is ………. than every number on its left.

(ii) An integer on the given number line is greater than every number to its ………..

(iii) 2 is greater than -4 implies 2 is to the ……….. of -4.

(iv) -3 is …………. than 2 and 3 is ………… than -2.

(v) -4 is ……….. than -8 and 4 is ……….. than 8.

(vi) 5 is ………….. than 2 and -5 is ………… than -2.

(vii) -6 is …………. than 3 and the opposite of -6 is …………. than opposite of 3.

(viii) 8 is ………….. than -5 and -8 is ……………. than 5.

Solution:

(i) An integer, on the given number line, is greater than every number on its left.

(ii) An integer, on the given number line, is greater than every number to its left.

(iii) 2 is greater than -4 implies 2 is on the right of -4

(iv) -3 is less than 2 and 3 is greater than -2

(v) -4 is greater than -8 and 4 is lessthan 8

(vi) 5 is greater than 2 and -5 is less than -2

(vii) -6 is less than 3 and the opposite of -6 is greater than opposite of 3

(viii) 8 is greater than -5 and -8 is less than 5

2. In each of the following pairs, state which integer is greater :

(i) – 15, – 23

(ii) – 12, 15

(iii) 0, 8

(iv) 0, – 3

Solution:

(i) -15, -23

-15 lies on the right side of -23 on the number line. Therefore, -15 is greater than -23

(ii) -12, 15

15 lies on the right side of -12 on the number line. Hence, 15 is greater than -12

(iii) 0, 8

8 lies on the right side of 0 on the number line. Therefore, 8 is greater than 0

(iv) 0, -3

0 lies on the right side of -3 on the number line. Hence, 0 is greater than -3

3. In each of the following pairs, state which integer is smaller :

(i) 0, – 6

(ii) 2, – 3

(iii) 15, – 51

(iv) 13, 0

Solution:

(i) -6 lies on the left side of 0 on the number line. Hence, -6 is smaller than 0

(ii) -3 lies on the left side of 2 on the number line. Therefore, -3 is smaller than 2

(iii) -51 lies on the left side of 15 on the number line. Hence, -51 is smaller than 15

(iv) 0 lies on the left side of 13 on the number line. Therefore, 0 is smaller than 13

4. In each of the following pairs, replace * with < or > to make the statement true:

(i) 3 * 0

(ii) 0 * – 8

(iii) – 9 * – 3

(iv) – 3 * 3

(v) 5 * – 1

(vi) – 13 * 0

(vii) – 8 * – 18

Solution:

(i) 3 lies on the right side of 0 on the number line ⇒ 3 > 0

Hence, 3 is greater than 0

(ii) 0 lies on the right side of -8 on the number line ⇒ 0 > -8

Therefore, 0 is greater than -8

(iii) -9 lies on the left side of -3 on the number line ⇒ -9 < -3

Hence, -9 is smaller than -3

(iv) -3 lies on the left side of 3 on the number line ⇒ -3 < 3

Therefore, -3 is smaller than 3

(v) 5 lies right side of -1 on the number line ⇒ 5 > -1

Hence, 5 is greater than -1

(vi) -13 lies left side of 0 on the number line ⇒ -13 < 0

Therefore, -13 is smaller than 0

(vii) -8 lies on the right side of -18 on the number line ⇒ -8 > -18

Hence, -8 is greater than -18

5. In each case, arrange the given integers in ascending order, using a number line:

(i) -8, 0, -5, 5, 4, -1

(ii) 3, -3, 4, -7, 0, -6, 2

Solution:

(i) -8, 0, -5, 5, 4, -1

Draw a number line and mark the given integers in ascending order as -8, -5, -1, 0, 4, 5 on the number line as shown below

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 7 - 2

(ii) 3, -3, 4, -7, 0, -6, 2

Draw a number line and mark the given integers in ascending order as -7, -6, -3, 0, 2, 3, 4 on the number line as shown below

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 7 - 3

6. In each case, arrange the given integers in descending order, using a number line:

(i) -5, -3, 8, 15, 0, -2

(ii) 12, 23, -1, 0, 7, 6

Solution:

(i) -5, -3, 8, 15, 0, -2

Draw a number line and mark the given integers on it. Arranging these integers in descending order 15, 8, 0, -2, -3, -5 as shown below on the number line

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 7 - 4

(ii) 12, 23, -1, 0, 7, 6

Draw a number line and mark the given integers on it. Arranging these integers in descending order 23, 12, 7, 6, 0, -1 as shown below on the number line

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 7 - 5

7. For each of the statements given below, state whether it is true or false:

(i) The smallest integer is 0.

(ii) The opposite of -17 is 17

(iii) The opposite of zero is zero

(iv) Every negative integer is smaller than 0

(v) 0 is greater than every positive integer

(vi) Since zero is neither negative nor positive, it is not an integer

Solution:

(i) False

(ii) True

(iii) True

(iv) True

(v) False

(vi) False
