To compare -2.7 and 4.5 using the number line, remember how numbers appear on a number line smaller numbers are to the left, and larger numbers are to the right.
- 2.7 is to the left of 4.5, This means that -2.7 is smaller than 4.5 because smaller numbers are always to the left and similarly 4.5 is to the right of -2.7. This means that 4.5 is larger than -2.7 (because larger numbers are always to the right. So, there are two ways to answer your question about how these number compare:-
- 2.7 is smaller than 4.5. or 4.5 is larger than -2.7
- Both answers are correct.
