In each pair of whole numbers, write the number which will come to the left side on the number line.
a) 1,01,987; 8,91,001
b) 8094; 91,000
c) 4873; 6945
d) 7651; 8198
Answer (2)
For each pair of numbers, the left number on the number line is the smaller number. The answers are:
a) 101,987
b) 8,094
c) 4,873
d) 7,651
;
In each pair of whole numbers, the smaller number will appear to the left on a number line. Let's analyze each pair one by one:
a) 1,01,987; 8,91,001
To determine which number is smaller, we compare each digit starting from the left.
The first number is 101,987 and the second number is 891,001 .
Compare the hundred-thousands digit: 1 (in 101,987) is less than 8 (in 891,001).
Thus, 101,987 is smaller and comes to the left on a number line.
b) 8094; 91,000
Again, we compare each digit from left to right.
The first number is 8094 and the second number is 91,000 .
Compare the tens of thousands place: 0 (considered as 08,094) is less than 9 (in 91,000).
Thus, 8094 is smaller and comes to the left on a number line.
c) 4873; 6945
Compare the numbers as before, digit by digit from the left.
The first number is 4873 and the second number is 6945 .
The thousands digit: 4 (in 4873) is less than 6 (in 6945).
Thus, 4873 is smaller and comes to the left on a number line.
d) 7651; 8198
The first number is 7651 and the second number is 8198 .
Compare the thousands place: 7 (in 7651) is less than 8 (in 8198).
Thus, 7651 is smaller and comes to the left on a number line.
