Fill in the most appropriate symbol $<, \leq$, $>$ or $\geq$ in place of $\square$ for the following:a $17 \square-17$b $-17 \square 17$c $-2 \square-1$d $-5 \square-5$e $-2 \square 0$
Complete the correct symbol, $+,-, \div$ $\times$, in place of $\square$ for the following:a $3 \square 2=5$,b $3 \square-2=5$c $9 \square 3=3$d $-7 \square(-11)=77$e $-6 \square(-5)=-1$
Evaluate the following:a $7-12$b $-3+1$c $-3-(-1)$ ]d $-11+(-11)$e $-11-(-11)$
Calculatea $(-6) \div(-2)$b $(-6) \times 2$c $(-6) \times(-2)$d $(-6) \div 2$e $(-6) \div(-2)$$\mathbf{g}(-1) \times(-2) \times(-8)$f $6 \div(-2)$
By using your calculator, or otherwise, compute the following:a $(-343) \times 343$b $(-343) \times(-343)$c $(-729) \div 81$d $\frac{(-729)}{81}$e $(-666)-(-1945)$f $(-2) \times(-5) \times(-7) \times(-10)$
