If you multiply a number less than 1 by another number less than 1, then the product is less than either of the original numbers. The reason is that a number less than 1 represents a piece of 1 whole thing. Multiplying two numbers less than 1 represents taking a piece of a piece, and when you do that, you wind up with less than either one of the original pieces.
Negative numbers are less than zero and less than positive numbers, so that negative 12 is less than positive 11. To put it another way, if you have 11 dollars, but you owe 12 dollars, you will owe one dollar more than you have.
Yes Think of it this way: If you are 11 dollars in debt, that is worse than being 6 dollars in debt.
depends on your motives if you know what i mean ;]
Of course. 73 alone is greater than 72 and any piece less than 1.
