Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Comparisons of positive and negative numbers.
If two numbers are positive, the number that looks bigger is bigger.
For example, 3.125 is bigger than 1.35.
8.5 is bigger than 4.2.
100.8 is bigger than 91.2.
If a number is positive and a number is negative, then the positive number is always bigger than the negative number.
If two numbers are negative, then ignore the negative signs and compare the numbers making them both positive. Then, once you put the negative signs back on, the bigger one as a positive number is really the smaller one.
Look at this problem's numbers.
-1.35 and -3.125
They are both negative.
Ignore the signs: 1.35 and 3.125
3.125 is bigger than 1.35
Put the signs back on, and the bigger one is now the other number.
-1.35 is bigger than -3.125
