Example Questions

Example Question #221 : The Number System

Fill in the blank with the proper sign.

\(\displaystyle -100\)__________\(\displaystyle -90\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle < \)

\(\displaystyle >\)

\(\displaystyle =\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle < \)

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we will use a number line. Numbers to the left of zero on the line are less than numbers to the right. 

Line2 8

Therefore:

\(\displaystyle -100< -90\)

Example Question #222 : The Number System

Fill in the blank with the proper sign.

\(\displaystyle 50\)__________\(\displaystyle -50\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle >\)

\(\displaystyle < \)

\(\displaystyle =\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle >\)

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we will use a number line. Numbers to the left of zero on the line are less than numbers to the right. 

Line2 9

Therefore:

\(\displaystyle 50>-50\)

Example Question #223 : The Number System
