Question

Tell how you could use a number line to determine which of two numbers is greater.

Answer 1

You read a number line from left to right therefore numbers on the left are lesser than numbers on the right

Answer 2

When comparing the values of two numbers, you can use a number line to determine which number is greater. The number on the right is always greater than the number on the left. In the example below, you can see that 14 is greater than 8 because 14 is to the right of 8 on the number line.
