Q81

Answer:

(a) \(-1\), (b) \(-1\), (c) \(-4\)

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

(a) 4 more than (-5)

  • Start at (-5) on the number line.
  • “More than” means move to the right.
  • Move 4 steps: (-4), (-3), (-2), (-1).
  • So, the number is (-1).

Calculation:

(-5 + 4 = -1)

(b) 3 less than (2)

  • Start at (2) on the number line.
  • “Less than” means move to the left.
  • Move 3 steps: (1), (0), (-1).
  • So, the number is (-1).

Calculation:

(2 - 3 = -1)

(c) 2 less than (-2)

  • Start at (-2) on the number line.
  • “Less than” means move to the left.
  • Move 2 steps: (-3), (-4).
  • So, the number is (-4).

Calculation:

(-2 - 2 = -4)
