Answer 1

Creating a number line and plotting the numbers on it will help immensely. You can try that and check my answers: 1.(C) 2.(D)

Answer 2

# 1

-10> -2 is false because -10 is smaller than -2

-6=6 is false because the two aren't the same number

-7<-1 is true because -7 is indeed smaller than -1

0<-9 is false because 0 is NOT smaller than -9 (zero is actually greater than -9)

Answer 3

# 2

the numbers 4 and 3 are to the right of -3, so they are larger than -3 (construct a number line to help see this)

the number -3 is not less than -3

so we've eliminated A, B, C so far leaving D to be the only thing left

-4 is the answer since it is to the left of -3, so -4 is smaller than -3

Answer 4
