That's a good question.  When comparing negative numbers  the lower one  has a greater  'number part  ( without the sign)'  then the higher  one.

For example -4 and -10:-   10 > 4   but -4 > -10.

Need help asap!!!! What’s the answer to this?? Having any answers
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Hello.

One jug contains

650 millilitres of water.

The other jug contains

300 millilitres of oil.

In order to find how much more water there is than oil, we need to take the amount of oil and subtract it from the amount of water:

\mathrm{650-300}

\mathrm{350}

Therefore, there are 350 more millilitres of water than oil.

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.

What can I learn in finding the sum of consecutive numbers?
Helga [31]

Answer:

By using Carl Gauss's clever formula, (n / 2)(first number + last number) = sum, where n is the number of integers, we learned how to add consecutive numbers quickly. We now know that the sum of the pairs in consecutive numbers starting with the first and last numbers is equal.
