What are 10 real life situations do we use negative numbers?

Answer 1

Negative numbers are often used when there are opposites; in this case, one of the opposites is assigned positive numbers, the other, negative numbers. For example, you might:* Use positive numbers for positions above sea level, and negative for below sea level.

* Use positive numbers for money you have in your bank account; negative numbers for money you owe others.

* Use positive numbers for northern latitudes, and negative numbers for southern latitudes. Or vice versa.

* There are lots of other situations where opposites are involved, but you probably get the idea.
