Answer 1

D) in the question

1002, 3001

Answer:

a) 503 b) 307 c) 56789 D) 1002

Explanation:

Numbering starts from the left hand side and are arranged in ascending order.

A) (530, 503)

503 < 530

503 is lesser than 530 and as such it is encountered first when numbers are written, hence 503 will appear on the left side of the number line when both are written.

B.) (370, 307)

370 > 307

307 comes before 370, therefore it will appear on the left side of 370 when illustrated on a number line.

C.) (98765, 56789)

98765 > 56789

56789 will appear on the leftside of 98765 when both number are illustrated on a number line.

D.) 1002 < 3001

1002 will appear on the leftside of 98765 when both number are illustrated on a number line.
