Question

Circle the greater integer and write its successor.(a) 15,-12 (b) -4,7 (c) -14,25 (d) -3,-9 (e) -12,-5 (f) -4,2​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)15 is the greater integer as the other is in negative. Successor-16

(b)7 is the greater integer. Successor-8

(c)25 is the greater integer. Successor-26

(d)-3 is the greater integer as it appears on the right side of -9. Successor-(-2)

(e)-5 is the greater integer. Successor-(-4)

(f)2 is the greater integer. Successor-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Integers are whole numbers that are either greater than zero (positive) or less than zero (negative). ... They're both positive numbers, but one is bigger than the other. Negative numbers are smaller than zero. Negative numbers get smaller and smaller the farther they are from zero.

The number which comes immediately after a particular number is called its successor. The successor of a whole number is the number obtained by adding 1 to it. Clearly, the successor of 0 is 1; successor of 1 is 2; successor of 2 is 3 and so on.

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) 15 and its successor is 16

(b) 7 ; successor = 8

(c) 25 ; successor = 26

(d) - 3 ; successor = - 2

(e) - 5 ; successor = - 4

(f) 2 ; successor = 3
