Solution

Step 1: Express the relation between the numbers
The given numbers are $- 8$ and $3$
We know that negative integers are always lesser than positive integers.
Hence, use the less than symbol between the numbers :
$- 8 < 3$
Step 2: Verify the relation
Verification, 3 - (-8) = 3 + 8
= 11
Hence, the relation between the given numbers is $- 8 < 3$
