Well, 12<-24 means "12 is less than -24." If you flip the sign around to make this sign, >, it would mean "12 is greater than -24."
This is a false statement, because logically 12 is not less than -24, it's greater. Positive numbers are always greater than negative numbers.
There you go. I'm glad I could help. :)

Way false...
From -24 to 12, the difference is 36.

False. 12 is greater than zero and -24 is less than zero therefore it is false

it is false. Any negative number is smaller than any positive number.
The < says 12 is less then negative 24. this is false.

The sign < means less than
The sign > means more than
The trick I use is that the open side looks wider (like an open mouth), so that is where the bigger value should be -- the other side -- the pointy one -- is much smaller and that is where the smaller value should be.
In 12 < -24 this is not true: -24 is much smaller than 12 but it is shown on the large side.
