Question

Which two consecutive integers does − 138 lie between?

Answer 1

Answer:

137 and 139.

Step-by-step explanation:

137 is a preceeder of 138.

139 is a successor of 138.

Answer 2

The two consecutive integers between which -138 lies will be -137 and -139.

Given: an integer -138

To Find: in which two consecutive integers -138 lie between

Solution:

• On a number line, the negative integers lie on the left side, whereas the positive integers lie on the right side of the number line.

• Zero lies exactly in the middle. It's like the middle point of the number from negative infinity to positive infinity.
• Now, -138 here lies on the left side of the number line.

• And the two consecutive integers between which -138 lies will be -137 and -139.
• As they are, the numbers are greater than one and less than one from -138.

Hence,  the two consecutive integers between which -138 lies will be -137 and -139.
