Best Answer

For negative numbers, the number with the larger, or higher, value, is the one that would be smaller if both numbers were positive. So in this case, the larger value is -1. You can see this on the number line; -1 will be to the right of -8, making it the larger of the two numbers.

Which is greater 7.89 or 7.189?

Look at the 2 numbers. Ignore the 7, and look at the .89, and the .189. Now compare the .8, and the .1. Which is the larger number, the .8, or the .1? I'll give you a hint, which would you want, .8 of a dollar, or .1 of a dollar? I truly ope you would want the .8 of a dollar, which would be 80 cents, (80 cents equals .80 of a dollar). So, now answer the question that you have posed. If .8 is larger than .1, then which value is larger? Ignore the other numbers after, or to the right of the .1, or .8.


What is larger one fourth or three eights?

1/4=2/8 so 3/8 is larger than 1/4


Is one third bigger then three eights?

Let's start by multiplying 3 by 8. The answer is 24. (Both 1/3 and 3/8 can be expressed as 'so many' 24ths). So, 3 into 24 is 8, so 1/3 is the same value as 8/24 8 into 24 is 3, so 3 x 3 is 9/24. It turns out that 9/24 is larger than 8/24, therefore, 3/8 is slightly larger than 1/3. 1/3, we know (from memory), = 0.333 while 3/8 (from memory) = 0.375 proving that 3/8 is larger than 1/3.
