Let's go over each of the exercises from your worksheet.

11. Compare (-3) and (-15)

You are asked to compare $-3$ and $-15$. Since $-3$ is closer to zero, it is greater than $-15$.

• Answer: $-3 > -15$

12. Compare (8) and (5)

For this, you simply compare $8$ and $5$. Clearly, $8$ is greater than $5$.

• Answer: $8 > 5$

13. List the numbers in order from least to greatest:

Numbers: $-2, 8, -15, -5, 3, 1$

• First, arrange these numbers on a number line: $-15, -5, -2, 1, 3, 8$
• Answer: $-15, -5, -2, 1, 3, 8$

14. Absolute value of 2

The absolute value of 2 is simply $|2| = 2$.

• Answer: $|2| = 2$

15. Absolute value of -8

The absolute value of $-8$ is $|-8| = 8$.

• Answer: $|-8| = 8$

16. Absolute value of -5

The absolute value of $-5$ is $|-5| = 5$.

• Answer: $|-5| = 5$
