When the numbers have the negative sign in front, it's the opposite of how we think of positive numbers. Therefore, -11 is always going to be less than -10.

-11 Is Less Then -10
2007-07-23 08:22:10 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
if you draw a number line the number on the right is always greater than a number on its left,
so a piece of the number line would be
-12 -11 -10 -9 ....
since -11 is on the left of -10, it is considered less than -10.
a good way to remember it is to think of money, positive is money in your pocket, and negative is money that you owe, the better situation of the two is always greater: You would rather owe $10 than owe $11, so -10 is greater.

Consider some numbers on the number lie:-
-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
Asking some questions:-
-4 ≤ 2? yes
- 3 ≤ -2? yes
- 2 ≤ 3? yes
2 ≤ 5? yes
The answer is "Yes" in each case because the first number lies to the LEFT of the second number on the number line.
Thus in answer to your question:-
-11 < - 10.
You can do this but you won`t make progress by "hating".
Give it your best shot!

-10 is greater than -11 because -10 is closer to 0 on the number scale.

Up or down the ladder where '0' would be the ground floor: '10' up would mean that '11' would mean its greater. However, because you ask minus (-) the -11 is lesser than the -10 because you are going further down the ladder.

-11 is less then -10. when you write these out on a line, every number is less then the number to the right of it.

11. 11 is always greater than 10 unless its negative 11 and 10, then 11 is smaller cause its farther away from zero than 10.....

The number line looks like this:
...-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
Numbers on the left are smaller than numbers on the right.
Imagine it keeps going...
...-12, -11, -10, -9...
Numbers on the left are smaller than numbers on the right.
You can get it!
