Question

Write all the integers between the given pairs (write them in increasing order) -8 and -15.

Answer 1

Hint: We have to write the integers between -8 and -15 in increasing order. Integers are the numbers having no fractional part i.e. they are complete numbers having 1 denominator.
If we see in the number line than the negative number -8 is greater than -15. As in number line -8 comes right to -15. And if we go right to left in a number line number decreases as shown in figure.

Complete step-by-step answer:
When we want to find the integers between two numbers then we see the number line. If we write them in ascending then take smaller numbers and proceed towards right.
After that write one by one integers coming while proceeding towards right till the arrival of the largest number.
The number line is as shown below:

By seeing the number line, we write the numbers between -15 to -8.
Here, by moving left to right for ascending order we write the integers starting from -15 and ending at -8 i.e. -14, -13, -12, -11, -10, -9.
The number of integers between -15 and -8 are 6. The ascending order is given below
$ \Leftrightarrow - 15 < - 14 < - 13 < - 12 < - 11 < - 10 < - 9 < - 8$

Additional Information: Integers consists of whole numbers and negative numbers. Whole numbers are the positive integers and also contain 0. 0 to infinity all the integers are whole numbers. Natural numbers are the positive integers. The difference between natural and whole numbers is 0. 0 is included in whole numbers but not in natural numbers.

Note: The students get confused in -8 and -15 that which number is the greater number. But in negative numbers -8 is greater than -15 and if we see the number line while going towards left -8 comes first than -15. If we go from right to left in a number line then the number decreases.
