Re: minus numbers
 

i dont quite see what my screen name, a numerical string has to do with -ve numbers,

I am not thick and can cleary understand how you get -ve numbers... however what is higher than -5 is it -4 or is it -6...? then if you add a number to a -ve does it become more negative of positive?

its just something I amongst many others strugle to grasp.

Have you ever had an overdraft?

Re: minus numbers
 

- 4 is greater in lavue than -5

Example
You owe sarah 5 pounds balance -5
you get paid 10 pounds
you give sarah the 5 and have 5 for yourself balance 5
see?

(sarah we'll split the fiver ;))

Unbelievable how people aren't even prepared to accept they're wrong.
I honestly didn't know that people struggled with minus numbers in such simple terms. It's like someone complaining that 0.8 should be a greater value than 7 because 8 is a larger number than 7.

Just wondering if people have a problem with fractions as well.

Which is bigger, 3/9 or 2/6?

No the will not! The female spawn will be with child at 16 so they can get a council house and wages (benefits) and any males will be living in similar council houses with someone who looks very like their sister.
It's aspirational...:rolleyes:

Now then, no need to confuse matters.

3/9 = 6/18

2/6 = 6/18

:rolleyes:
