Which would you prefer?

To have $7.00?
Or to owe $12.00?

Isn't 7 a lot more than -12?

lol i never looked at it that way ty

Yw.

To determine if 7 is less than or greater than -12, we can compare the two numbers on a number line.

Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Draw a number line.
2. Mark the position of -12 on the number line.
3. Moving to the right, count 7 spaces from -12.
4. If you end up at a higher number than -12, then 7 is greater than -12.
If you end up at a lower number than -12, then 7 is less than -12.

Upon following these steps, you will find that when you start at -12 and move 7 spaces to the right, you will end up at -5. Therefore, 7 is greater than -12.
