Question

How do you decide which of the two numbers is greater if one number is positive and one number is negative

Answer 1

Whatever number has more amount, if it was -2 plus 4 it would end up being positive 2 because the four that is positive is bigger so it takes the property of the bigger number.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The positive number is always greater because it is bigger than 0. The negative number is always less than 0 which means that it is the smaller of the two numbers.

Now, if you are working with two negative numbers, it would be the smaller negative one because the smaller one would be closer to 0 than the other one.

When working with two positive numbers, it is always the greater number (This one should be pretty simple)

When working with decimals, it is always the smaller decimal because it is closer to 0 than the larger one.

Hope this helps!!!
