Question

Use <, >, or = to compare the following integers
1. 8 ____ +8
2. -19 ____ 19
3. 23 ____ -24
4. -11 ____ -21

Answer 1

1. 8 = +8

2. -19 < 19

3. 23 > -24

4. -11 > -21

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 8 = +8 (Both of them have same magnitude therefore they are equal)

2. -19 < 19 (-19 is a negative integer and therefore is smaller than positive integer 19)

3. 23 > -24 (-24 is a negative integer and therefore is smaller than positive integer 23)

4. -11 > -21 (In case of negative integer lower the magnitude higher is the value, therefore -11 is greater than -21)
