Question. 53
−60 ____ 50
Answer:
−60 < 50
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
Step 1: Identify the signs.
\(-60\) is a negative number.
\(50\) is a positive number.
Step 2: Recall the rule.
Every negative number is less than any positive number.
Step 3: Apply the rule.
So, \(-60\) is less than \(50\).
Step 4: Write the comparison.
\(-60\;\lt\;50\)
Number line check:
Negative numbers (like \(-60\)) lie to the left of 0.
Positive numbers (like \(50\)) lie to the right of 0.
Left is smaller than right, so \(-60\lt50\).
