To determine the correct sign to use between -815 and -834, we can convert each number to its decimal form (though they are already in decimal form as integers). We need to compare the two numbers:
- -815 is greater than -834 because it is closer to zero on the number line.
To clarify:
-815: -----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
-834: -----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
Since -815 is to the right of -834 on the number line, it is indeed greater.
Thus, the correct sign to place between -815 and -834 is:
>
So the statement is -815 > -834.
