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.
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.
The absolute value (magnitude) of -17 is greater than the absolute value (magnitude) of -5. -5 is considered to be greater (more positive) than -17.
If the positive number is greater than the negative, it's a positive. Ex: 8 + (-3) = 5 If the negative is greater though, then the answer is a negative. Ex: 3 + (-5) = -2
-5. You're better off being £5 in debt than £6.
-11
Negative 5 is three units greater than negative 8.
Negative 3 is greater than negative 5
No because -5 is greater than -6
There are no negative integers greater than five.
The greater than symbol is > Example: -5 negative is greater than -10 negative -5 > -10
no, as -8 is a negative meaning its below 0
Negative 5 is less than negative 4.
Is negative 1.16 greater than positive 1?
No. It is 5 times smaller.
No, as that 3 is positive, and negative 5 is not.
-5 is less than 13. Thank you
