(1) $+1\boxed{}+6$
(2) $-8\boxed{}-5$
(3) $-5\boxed{}-8$
(4) $-2\boxed{}+3$
(5) $+3\boxed{}-2$
(6) $-1\boxed{}+1$
(7) $0\boxed{}-7$
(8) $-4\boxed{}+4$
(9) $+2\boxed{}-6$
(10) $-3\boxed{}0$
(11) $-6\boxed{}+5$
(12) $0\boxed{}+7$

Answer 1

(1) On comparing +1 and +6 on a number line, we observe that +6 is to the right of +1.
∴ $+1\boxed{<}+6$

(2) On comparing –8 and –5 on a number line, we observe that –8 is to the left of –5.
∴ $-8\boxed{<}-5$

(3) On comparing –5 and –8 on a number line, we observe that –5 is to the right of –8.
∴ $-5\boxed{>}-8$

(4) On comparing –2 and +3 on a number line, we observe that –2 is to the left of +3.
∴ $-2\boxed{<}+3$

(5) On comparing +3 and –2 on a number line, we observe that +3 is to the right of –2.
∴ $+3\boxed{>}-2$

(6) On comparing –1 and +1 on a number line, we observe that –1 is to the left of +1.
∴ $-1\boxed{<}+1$

(7) On comparing 0 and –7 on a number line, we observe that 0 is to the right of –7.
∴ $0\boxed{>}-7$

(8) On comparing –4 and +4 on a number line, we observe that –4 is to the left of +4.
∴ $-4\boxed{<}+4$

(9) On comparing +2 and –6 on a number line, we observe that +2 is to the right of –6.
∴ $+2\boxed{>}-6$

(10) On comparing –3 and 0 on a number line, we observe that –3 is to the left of 0.
∴ $-3\boxed{<}0$

(11) On comparing –6 and +5 on a number line, we observe that –6 is to the left of +5.
∴ $-6\boxed{<}+5$

(12) On comparing 0 and +7 on a number line, we observe that 0 is to the left of +7.
∴ $0\boxed{<}+7$
