-6 is greater than -17. Consider temperatures: a temperature of 6°C is warmer than 3°C and would be considered greater (6 > 3); a temperature of -6°C is warmer than -17°C, and so -6 > -17.
-1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 and -7 are all greater than -8
Yes
yes
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 because -6 is less than 3

The negative integers greater than -6 are: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1.
No because -5 is greater than -6

greater than.
As 6 is a positive integer, no negative integer is greater than it.
