In 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.
Well, let's take a moment to appreciate both numbers. Even though they are both negative, -4 is actually bigger than -10. Just imagine them as little friends on a number line, with -4 standing a little further along than -10, reaching out a helping hand to show the way.
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
they are the SAME!!! both equal 1/2
Easy...... you take the bigger number (4)and subtract your smaller number (3)from it, leaving you with a ratio of 1.
12/15 is bigger than 4/10 or 4/5 is bigger than 2/5
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)
