Is negative 8 greater than negative 3?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, negative 8 is actually less than negative 3. It's like saying, "Hey, which is worse, stubbing your toe or stepping on a LEGO?" Negative numbers work in a similar way, just in the world of math instead of pain. So yeah, negative 3 is the lesser of the two evils in this case.

Answer 2

No it is more negative. Think of it like this. It's the complete opposite of Positive numbers. (regular non-negative numbers). Also, you have to subtract to get to -8, and obviously subtract means take away.
