A negative number is less than a positive number.
Think about it this way: a negative number is less than 0. A positive number is greater than 0. Therefore, a negative number must be less than a positive number.

Zero isn't positive or negative. All negative numbers are less than zero.There is no such thing as "positive" (or "negative") zero.Also, a negative number is always less than any positive number.
Any positive number is greater than zero. Negative numbers are less than zero. good answer but a positive number is a number without a - or the word negative in front of it
Because positive numbers are to the right of negative numbers on the number line. If you have two numbers, one the negative of the other, and you add the positive to the negative, you get zero. If you add the positive to zero, you get a positive number. So positive numbers are an increase from zero, which is an increase from negative numbers. A negative number may have a greater absolute value than a positive number, but it will always be less than a positive number.
-0.45 is a negative number. 9/20 = 0.45 which is a positive number. Positive numbers are always greater than negative numbers, so -0.45 is less than 9/20.
Greater than. Positive numbers are greater than negative numbers.
In math, a positive is a number greater then zero, and a negative number is less than zero.

0.1 is not negative, it is positive. A negative number is a number that is less than zero. 0.1 is greater than zero.
Any negative number is less than any positive number.
No. All positive numbers are greater than zero and all negative numbers are less than zero. Therefore, all positive numbers are greater than all negative numbers. That said, there is a such thing as absolute value, which is how far a number is from zero. For example the absolute value of -10 is 10. The absolute value of a negative number can be greater than that of a positive number.
It depends, if a number with positive integers is greater than the number with the negative integer therefore the sum will be in positive integer. And if the number with positive integer is less than the number with the number with negative integer then the sum will be in negative integer.
