The absolute value of 4.28 is greater than that of 4.13 (|4.28|>|4.13|) but the numbers are negative. As negative numbers are less (decrease in magnitude) as they increase in absolute value (-2<-1) -4.28<-4.13

This can easily be seen on a "number line" diagram:

-100 ----------- 0 ----------------100

<-- Numbers decrease in magnitude in as they move in this direction

Numbers increase in magnitude as they move in this direction -->
