Question

Is -6 greater or lesser than -5

Answer 1

Answer:

-6 is less than -5

Explanation:

Let’s use a number line to answer your question.

On a number line:

• A larger number means moving to the right.
• A smaller number means moving to the left.

Step 1. Find -5 on the number line  

Start at 0 and move 5 units to the left (see image below).

This takes you to -5.

Step 2. Move to -6

You must move 1 unit to the left.

∴ -6 is less than -5.  

Answer 2

less than because when it turns negative it reverses how it would normally be. so 6 is greater than 5 but -6 is less than -5
