Observe the following number line and answer the following questions.i

1.	Observe the following number line and answer the following questions.i) Which is the nearest positive integer to -1? ii) How many negative numbers you will find on the left side of Zero? iii) How many integers are there in between -3 and 7? iv) Write 3 integers lesser than -2. v) Write 3 integers more than -2.
Answer» i) +1 is the nearest positive integer to -1. ii) On the given number line negative numbers to left of zero are -1, -2, -3, -4, -5. So, there are 5 in number. iii) On the number line integers between -3 and 7 are -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. So, there are 9 in number. iv) Integers less than -2 means numbers left side of -2. They are -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, ……… So, 3 integers lesser than -2 are -3, -4, -5. v) Integers more than -2 means numbers right side of -2. They are -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …….. So, 3 integers more than -2 are -1, 0, 1. (i) zero (ii) 5 (iii) 10 (iv) -3,-4,-5 (v) -1,0,1

Answer»

i) +1 is the nearest positive integer to -1.

ii) On the given number line negative numbers to left of zero are -1, -2, -3, -4, -5. So, there are 5 in number.

iii) On the number line integers between -3 and 7 are -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. So, there are 9 in number.

iv) Integers less than -2 means numbers left side of -2. They are -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, ……… So, 3 integers lesser than -2 are -3, -4, -5.

v) Integers more than -2 means numbers right side of -2. They are -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …….. So, 3 integers more than -2 are -1, 0, 1.

(i) zero

(ii) 5

(iii) 10

(iv) -3,-4,-5

(v) -1,0,1
