Positive numbers are bigger than negative numbers.
You can also prove it in this case by adding two (2) to both numbers and then comparing. (In algebra doing the same action to both sides of an equation is preserves the relationship between values.)
+1+2= 3
-1+2= 1
3 > 1, therefore 1 > -1

Is -0.075 is bigger than 1?
No. It is a negative number and 1 is a positive number, so it cannot be bigger.
Are fractions bigger than negative numbers?
You can have negative fractions so it depends. it depends if you have a negative fraction you could have -1/2 but 1/2 is bigger than -1/2. negative numbers will always be smaller than positive numbers.
What is 6 plus negative 1?
6 + (-1) positive and negative will equal negative. so it's 6-1 that would equal 5. positive and positive= positive positive negative= negative negative negative = positive negative positive= negative
Negative minus a negative?
Positive minus a negative = positive plus a positive two negatives make a positive 3- (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4 5- (-7) = 12
What does a fraction equals if it is a positive and a negative being added?
Depends on how big they are. The resulting number could be positive or negative. Negative 1/4 and Positive 1/2 will be a Positive 1/4. Positive 1/4 and Negative 1/2 will be a Negative 1/4.
A negative number minus a positive number equal?
positive + positive = add (e.g. 2 + 1 = 3)positive + negative = take (e.g. 2 + -1 = 2 - 1 = 1)positive - positive = take (e.g. 2 - 1 = 1)positive - negative = add (e.g. 2 - -1 = 2 + 1 = 3)negative + positive = add (e.g. -2 + 1 = -1)negative + negative = take (e.g. -2 + -1 = -2 - 1 = -3)negative - positive = take (e.g. -2 - 1 = -3)negative - negative = add (e.g. -2 - -1 = -2 + 1 = -1)
What is negative exponent?
It's a number up and just to the right of the bigger first number. If its. 3 2 Then you multiply it like 2 times 2times 2 With negative exponent you switch it from negative to positive every other one starting with negative. We do this because a negative and a negative multiplied together equal a positive and a positive times a negative is negative. -123771
Is a positive plus a negative a negative?
well it depends if the negative is bigger than the positive or viseversa. lets say you have -5+7 it would equal 2. if it was -7+5 it would equal -2. In short, a positive number plus a negative number is the same thing as a positive number minus another positive number. Example: 3 + (-2) = 1 3 - 2 = 1
What is a number bigger than negative one divided by two?
Any number between negative 1/2 and 0 (e.g. -1/4) and all positive numbers
What is negative minus positive?
A negative minus a positive is a negative. i.e -1-(+1)= -2
Is the sum of a negative number and a positive number equal to the sum of their absolute values?
No. The sum of a negative number and a positive number has the absolute value of their difference and the sign of whichever of them was bigger - in absolute terms. So -3 + 4 = +1 (diff between 3 and 4 is 1, and the bigger number, 4, is positive) -3 + 3 = 0 (diff between 3 and 3 is 0, the sign for zero does not matter) -3 + 2 = -1 (diff between 3 and 2 is 1, and the bigger number, 3, is negative)
