How are integers used in the real world?
integers are numberIt's used in banks, thermometers, it's whole number that is negative! It's very important to know.----If this has something to do with school, then I would say integers are easy, and important. If they seem hard for you (as you obviously think they're useless), then study more, you'd benefit from it, and use it "in the real world".
Why is all whole number integers?
integers are any number in the world...nedative or positive. Ex: -10002029385638746530 is an integer but so is +1
Which is greater negative 5 or negative 6?
In the context of integers, negative 5 is greater than negative 6. This is because as we move to the left on the number line, the numbers decrease. So, negative 5, which is closer to zero, is greater than negative 6, which is further to the left. Negative 5 is one unit closer to zero than negative 6, making it the greater of the two values.
What is the difference between adding and subtracting integers to multiplying and dividing integers?
Well, when you add and subtract integers, you are combining or taking away amounts. It's like mixing colors on your palette to create a new shade. Multiplying and dividing integers involve grouping or sharing amounts, similar to creating different brush strokes to bring a painting to life. Each operation has its own unique beauty and purpose in the world of mathematics.
How are negative integers used in the real world?
Whenever you have two opposites, you can use positive number for one, and negative numbers for the other. For example: * Having money might be positive, owing money might be negative (owing money is worse than just having nothing). * Getting money might be a positive change; spending money (or otherwise losing it), a negative change. * Places above sea level might be assigned a positive altitude; places below sea level, a negative altitude. * If latitudes north of the equator are defined as positive, then latitudes south of the equator would be negative. Or the other way round.
