Answer 2

Answer:

-5 is greater than -8

Look at the number line of integers. On the number line we know that a greater number is on the right of the smaller number.

Just take for example 5. 5 is on the right of 2 which tells that it is greater but 5 is on the left to 8, which tells it is smaller.

In the same way -5 is on the right to -8, thus we can conclude that -5 is greater than -8
