Class 6 - Mathematics - Unit 3: Integers - True or False Questions
Question. 33
−2 is to the left of −5 on the number line.
Answer:
false
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
Step 1: On a number line, numbers increase when you move to the right and decrease when you move to the left.
Step 2: Compare the two numbers.
\(-5 < -2\)
Step 3: Because \(-2\) is greater than \(-5\), \(-2\) is to the right of \(-5\).
Step 4: The statement says “\(-2\) is to the left of \(-5\)”. This is the opposite of what we found.
Conclusion: The statement is false.
