By observing the number line state which of the following statements is not true
a. B is greater than -10
b. A is greater than 0
c. B is greater than A
d. B is smaller than 0

By observing the number line state which of the following statements is not true

Solution:

Look at the given integers on the number line and observe the position of B and A.

From the pattern marked on the number let us match all the given statements to examine which is not true.

  1. a) B is greater than -10. This statement is true as point B lies left to the 0 and clearly before -10.
  2. b) A is greater than 0.This statement also holds true as we can see point A lies to the right of zero where all the positive integers
  3. c) B is greater than A. This statement is NOT TRUE, as, B lies to the left of zero and A lies to the right of zero on the number line clearly according to number line rules A has to be greater than B.
  4. d) B is smaller than 0. This statement is true. As, B lies to the left of zero and all the numbers left of zero are smaller than zero.

✦ Try This: Draw a number line and mark the following integers on it.a) 2 times 4, b) -5 times -1 c) 2 times -2

Using the rules of integers on number line we can easily draw a number line with the respective points

By observing the number line state which of the following statements is not true: a. B is greater than -10, b. A is greater than 0, c. B is greater than A, d. B is smaller than 0

Summary:

The statement ‘B is greater than A’ is NOT TRUE. In the given number line we can observe that B lies to the left of zero and A lies to the right of zero on the number line. Hence, according to number line rules A has to be greater than B
