Depends what you mean by higher. Minus 2.5 is greater than minus 5 because you have to add 2.5 to -5 to get there. On the other hand, a bank account summary showing a negative amount is showing a higher debt than a smaller negative amount. The word higher is not used in Math. Use "greater than" or "less than". And you have to add positive numbers to get to a number "greater than".
