Is negative 7 greater than positive 6?
No.
Is negative 6 greater than negative 3?
No, -3 is greater than -6.
Does a positive number plus negative number equal positive or negative?
This depends on what the numbers are. For example,6 + (-4) = 6 - 4 = 2 which is a positive numberOR5 + (-8) = 5 - 8 = -3 which is a negative numberIn general, if you are adding a positive number a to a negative number b,if a is less than b, the result will be negative.if a is greater than b, the result will be positive.
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
