Why half of negative number is greater than than the number itself for eg half of -6 is -3 which is greater than -6?

If you consider only the magnitude of the two numbers (disregarding the signs) then 6 is greater than 3. But when we have signed numbers, we have to imagine the number line. On the negative side of zero, a negative number closer to zero is considered greater than a negative number that is farther from zero. Similarly on the positive side of zero, a positive number closer to zero is considered smaller than a positive number that is farther from zero. I hope that explains it.
-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

No, one half is not greater than three.One half is just a half of the number one, and since one is already lower than three, you can deduce that one half is not greater than three.
