Question 7(a)

In the following pair of numbers, state which whole number is on the left of the other number on the number line? Also write them with the appropriate sign (>, <) between them.

530, 503

Answer 1

On the number line of whole numbers, a number that lies to the left of another number is less than that number. Example: 0,1,2,3,4, ... here 3 < 4. Similarly, 1<4 and so on.

Numerically, 503 is less than 530
So 503 appears on left side of 530 on number line.
$\Rightarrow$ 503 < 530
