-5 is larger than -10 because the closer a number is to zero, the larger it is. In this case, -5 is closer to zero than -10.

Is 6 10th larger that 5 10th?

As the denominators (bottom numbers) are the same, the numerators (top numbers) can be compared and the larger number is the larger fraction. 6 is greater than 5 thus 6/10 is greater than 5/10.


Is a negative plus a positive a negative?

If you add a negative and a positive the answer (pos or neg) is that of the highest number. For example -13+ 3= -10 and -3 + 13 = 10. In this situation a negative (-) plus a positive (+) can be either negative or positive depending on which number is greater. Example: -10 + 5 = -5 because -10 is larger than 5 (even though that seems contradictory) Example: -5 + 10 = 5 because 10 is larger than -5.


How do you graph 3 5th on the number line?

3/5 = 6/10, 1/10 larger than 1/2


How do you get 45 from roman number XLV?

L = 50 X = 10 V= 5 The X before the L means you subtract it from the larger number to the right. So 50-10+5 = 45


How much is 2 times 5?

Are you serious? You must be a child lol......anyways the answer is explained below... 5x2 is 10 which is.. 5x2 = 10 2+2+2+2+2= 10 as is... 2x5=10 5+5=10 Very simple, its always easier to multiply the larger number by the smaller number, for me anyways, try it for yourself.


Is is correct that 0.00001 is bigger than 0.001 because the first number has more digits to the right of the decimal point?

Incorrect.That is incorrect. 0.001 is larger than 0.00001."Explain your thinking using negative power of 10 and the number line."0.001 can be written as 1/1000, or 10^-3. 0.00001 can be written as 1/100000, or 10^-5.When you raise something to a negative power, you are dividing it one by that number to the positive version of that power, for example, 10^-2 = 1/(10^2). When a fraction has a larger number as its divisor, the bottom number, that means it is being divided by a larger number, so it will be smaller. Since 10^5 is larger than 10^3, 0.00001 is smaller. Number line-wise, a number with a larger negative power is further to the left, meaning it's smaller.


Rules in adding like and unlike sign?

1. If the positive number is larger in absolute value, subtract the absolute values of the numbers, and then put the positive sign in front of the answer. 2. If the negative number has larger absolute value, subtract the absolute values of the numbers and then put the negative sign in front of the answer. 3 . If they are the same, the sum is 0. Example of 1: 10+(-5). We know that 10 is larger absolute value. S0 10-5=5 and put a + in front. The answer is +5 or just 5. Example of 2. -10+5. The =10 has larger absolute value. 10-5=5. Now put a - sign so the answer is -5 Example of 3. is is -5+5. The numbers have the same absolute value so their sum is 0. Remember the absolute value of x, denoted | x | is the distance of x from zero on the number line. So |-3|=3 and |5|=5 since =3 is 3 units from 0 on the number line and 5 is 5 units from 0 on the number hey its me mhel jesson valenzuela add me on fb

What are the two number have a sum of 14 and the difference of 4?

The sum of the sum and difference gives twice the larger number 14 + 4 = 18 → the larger number is 18 ÷ 2 = 9 The difference of the sum and the difference gives twice the smaller number 14 - 4 = 10 → the smaller number is 10 ÷ 2 = 5 → The two numbers are 9 and 5.
