Select the lesser of The two given numbers -152, 12

Answer 1

Hi!

-152 is less than 12, because:

• It's negative, and 12 is positive!
• It's to the left of 12 on the number line!

$\mathbb{NUMBER \ LINE}$

$_ < \!\!\!\rule{300}{1}\!\!\!_ >$

     $-152$                                                                         $12$

Cheers!

Have a nice day!

I hope this helps!
