Let's solve the comparison problems from the image.

a) \( 2 \) and \( 9 \): 
Since \( 2 < 9 \), the correct symbol here is \( < \).

b) \( 1 \) and \( -10 \): 
Since \( 1 > -10 \), the correct symbol here is \( > \).

c) \( -5 \) and \( -7 \): 
Since \( -5 > -7 \) (because \( -5 \) is closer to 0 on the number line), the correct symbol here is \( > \).

Thus, the correct answers are:

a) \( 2 < 9 \)  
b) \( 1 > -10 \)  
c) \( -5 > -7 \)  

Would you like more details on any of these comparisons?

Here are five related questions to consider:
1. How do you compare two negative numbers?
2. What is the significance of zero when comparing positive and negative numbers?
3. How do inequalities change when both sides are multiplied by negative numbers?
4. Can you explain how inequalities work on a number line?
5. How would the comparison change if the signs of the numbers were reversed?

**Tip:** When comparing numbers, always visualize them on a number line. Negative numbers are smaller than positive ones, and the farther left a number is, the smaller it is.

Decide whether > or < should go in each of the boxes to complete the statements: 2 and 9, 1 and -10, -5 and -7.

Solve comparison problems for integers such as 2 and 9, 1 and -10, and -5 and -7. Learn how to use inequality symbols and understand number relationships. Suitable for Grade 3-5 students.
