Which number is bigger?

Question

-5 or -10.

Answer 1

-5 is bigger. on the number line, the number on the right side is bigger.

Answer 2

-5.

Answer 3

-5

Put it this way...

would rather owe somebody $5 or $10?  You want more money, right?  So $5 is the better choice, because it's worth more.

Answer 4

Think of it this way: think of negatives as being in debt. Would you rather be $5 in debt or $10?

-5 is greater than -10 because the greater your debt the less you have.

On a number line the number that is further left is less than the numbers to the right.  

-10 is less than -5 because it is further left than -5.

Answer 5

-5

Answer 6

-5 because it is a smaller negative than -10

Answer 7

-5, because -10+5 = -5

To get to -5 from -10, you need to add a positive number, and that means it is bigger.

Answer 8

-5

think of scale goin down to 0 then further -1 -2 -3 so the lower number is actually higher cos if you -1 you have more than if you -5

easy if you think like that
