Question

In each of the following pairs of numbers, state which whole number lies on the right of the other number on the number line. Also, write

them with the appropriate sign $(>,<)$ between them .

(a) $701,710$

(b) $92314,42319$

Answer 1

Every whole number on the number line is smaller than every whole number on its right , i.e., every whole number on the number line is greater than every whole number on its left, e.g., $701<710$ and $92,314>42,319$.

(a) Hence, $710$ lies to the right of $701$ and $701<710$

(b) Hence, $92,314$ lies to the right of $42,319$
