11-2 Comparing and Ordering Integers

Learn to compare and order integers.

11-2 Comparing and Ordering Integers

Numbers on a number line increase in value as you move from left to right.

Remember!

11-2 Comparing and Ordering Integers

Additional Example 1: Comparing Integers Use the number line to compare each pair of integers. Write < or >.

A. –2 2

B. 3 –5

C. –1 –4

–5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5

–2 is to the left of 2 on the number line.

–2 < 2

3 > –5

3 is to the right of –5 on the number line.

–1 is to the right of –4 on the number line.

–1 > –4

Use the number line to compare each pair of integers. Write < or >.

A. –2 1

B. 2 –3

C. –3 –4

–5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5

–2 is to the left of 1 on the number line.

–2 < 1

2 > –3

2 is to the right of –3 on the number line.

–3 is to the right of –4 on the number line.

–3 > –4

Additional Example 2: Ordering Integers

Order the integers in each set from least to greatest.

A. –2, 3, –1

B. 4, –3, –5, 2

–3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3

Graph the integers on the same number line.

Then read the numbers from left to right: –2, –1, 3.

–6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

Graph the integers on the same number line.

Then read the numbers from left to right: –5, –3, 2, 4.

Then read the numbers from left to right: –3, –2, 2.

–6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

Graph the integers on the same number line.

Then read the numbers from left to right: –3, –2, 5, 6.

Additional Example 3: Problem Solving Application

11 Understand the Problem

The answer will be the player with the lowest score. List the important information:

• Craig scored +2.

• Cameron scored +3.

• Rob scored –1.

In a golf match, Craig scored +2, Cameron scored +3, and Rob scored –1. Who won the golf match?

11-2 Comparing and Ordering Integers

Additional Example 3 Continued

22 Make a Plan

You can draw a diagram to order the scores from least to greatest.

Solve33

Draw a number line and graph each player’s score on it.

–3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3

• • •

Rob’s score, –1, is farthest to the left, so it is the lowest score. Rob won the golf match.

11-2 Comparing and Ordering Integers

Additional Example 3 Continued

Negative integers are always less than positive integers, so neither Craig nor Cameron won the golf match.

11 Understand the Problem

The answer will be the player with the lowest score. List the important information:

• Melissa scored +6.

• Trista scored –3.

• Alyssa scored –1.

In a golf match, Melissa scored +6, Trista scored –3, and Alyssa scored –1. Who won the golf match?

22 Make a Plan

You can draw a diagram to order the scores from least to greatest.

Solve33

Draw a number line and graph each player’s score on it.

• • •

Trista’s score, –3, is farthest to the left, so it is the lowest score. Trista won the golf match.

–6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

11-2 Comparing and Ordering Integers

Negative integers are always less than positive integers, so Melissa cannot be the winner. Since Trista’s score of –3 is less than Alyssa’s score of –1, Trista won.
