  • No. Inventory and engineering work need negative numbers to measure. Also, how can we measure the temperature if it's freezing cold without negative numbers? Integers are needed for calculations and measurements in this world.

Could you survive in a world without negative integers?

Surviving in a world without negative integers would be challenging but not impossible. Many mathematical concepts and real-world applications rely on negative numbers, such as temperature scales, financial transactions, and measurements below zero. However, everyday life could adapt by redefining certain parameters, like using only positive values and zero. Overall, while it would require significant adjustments, basic survival would still be feasible.


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?

The multiplication and division will have a rule that if both integers are negative the answer will be positive but if one of the integers is negative and other is positive, the answer will be negative. In addition and subtraction this will not be happen.
