FranIn mathematics, the concept of "bigger" when comparing numbers depends on their magnitudes on the number line. In this case, -4 is greater than -10 because it is closer to 0 on the number line. When comparing negative numbers, the one with the higher absolute value (farther from 0) is considered "bigger." Therefore, -4 is bigger than -10.

What is bigger 2 over 10 or 1 over 4?
To find which is bigger it is easier to convert both numbers to the same sort of fractions, so... 2/10 is the same as 4/20 1/4 is the same as 5/20 As you can see 1/4 is a bigger number than 2/10
What number is bigger 4 by 8 or 5 by 10?
they are the SAME!!! both equal 1/2
How to find ONE rational number between 3 and 4?
Easy...... you take the bigger number (4)and subtract your smaller number (3)from it, leaving you with a ratio of 1.
Which is bigger 12 over 15 or 4 over 10?
12/15 is bigger than 4/10 or 4/5 is bigger than 2/5
Is the sum of a negative number and a positive number equal to the sum of their absolute values?
No. The sum of a negative number and a positive number has the absolute value of their difference and the sign of whichever of them was bigger - in absolute terms. So -3 + 4 = +1 (diff between 3 and 4 is 1, and the bigger number, 4, is positive) -3 + 3 = 0 (diff between 3 and 3 is 0, the sign for zero does not matter) -3 + 2 = -1 (diff between 3 and 2 is 1, and the bigger number, 3, is negative)
