Yes, 0 is greater than -1.
A good way to learn this for future math problems is to picture a line with the numbers beneath it, with 0 being the base, or the 'starting point'. Anything to the left of the 0 is less than 0, and anything to the right of 0 is more than 0. The further to the left you go, the more the numbers decrease in value. For example:
____________________________________________________________
-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
As you go left of the zero, the number decreases, and as you go right of the zero, the number increases. Using this example, you can see that the negative 7 (-7) is greater than negative 10 (-10) because it is further to the left of the zero (0).

Is zero greater than negative one equal?
Not sure what the "equal" on the end is for but zero is greater than negative one. -1<0 0>-1 -1<0<1
Is -(.25) greater than or less than -(.50)?
-0.25
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.
How will describe the sign of integers?
A positive number is one that is greater than zero. A negative number is one that is less than zero. To visualize this, it is convenient to look at the numbers on a number line. A positive number is to the right of zero.
Can the average be zero?
Sure. If some of the items on the list are positive and some are negative, then their average can be positive, negative, or zero. But if all of them are positive, then their average must be more than zero. Remember that the average is always greater than the least item on the list, and less than the greatest one.
