Q. Arranged the numbers in increasing order: −9, −5, 0, 4, 7
Identify Smallest Integer: Identify the smallest integer among −9, −5, 0, 4, and 7. Since −9 is the farthest to the left on a number line, it is the smallest.
Find Next Integer: Next, find the integer that comes after −9. Comparing −5, 0, 4, and 7, −5 is the next smallest number.
Continue Comparison Process: Continue this process for the remaining numbers. 0 is greater than −5 but less than 4 and 7.
Compare Last Two Numbers: Compare the last two numbers, 4 and 7. Since 4 is less than 7, it comes next.
Place Largest Number: Finally, place 7 as it is the largest number among the given integers.
