Question

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.
978, 786

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 786 is less than 978
So 786 appear on left side of 978 on number line.
$\Rightarrow$978> 786
