Question

Replace each with <, >, or = to make a true sentence. –6 −4

Answer 1

(-6) <(4)
I said -4 is greater than -6 because when the number is closer to the zero it is greater than the other.

Answer 2

If both of the numbers were positive, then we would do 6 > 4. But because these numbers are negative, we do the opposite.

-6 < -4
