Which number is smaller? 0.01 or -100?

Which number is smaller? 0.01 or -100?

wtf I hate anime incels now

0.01 as -100 is -99.9 points further away from 0.

Numbers further away than zero frequently described as larger than numbers closer to zero.

The correct answer is that 0.01 is smaller than -100, as they both contain the same number of characters, but "." is smaller than "-"

This is the absolute state of brainlets

-100 is obviously smaller. If you count backwards each number is gonna be smaller than the previous.

-100 is a large number on the negative number line

one person has 1 cent and other person has 100$ debt. which person has more money

How are you two posting here? You're either still in elementary school and haven't been introduced to basic algebra, or you're slightly above functionally retarded. Either way, you don't understand number lines.

Until he pays up the 100$ one has more, its tha same logic as saying the 0.01 is smaller on the - sccale.

>negative number line
Nope.

They are Equal

John has 0.01 apples
Abby has -100 apples

If John gives Abby his 0.01 apples, Abby will have -99.99 apples

If Abby gives John her -100 apples, John will have -99.99 apples

this isnt rocket science OP

Depends on the font, but generally a negation sign takes more space than the decimal, so 0.01 is usually smaller.

You need to be explicit. Are you talking about absolute value or are you using smaller in the same sense as "less".

>0.01 for the former
>-100 for the latter

Either way it doesn't matter. You can't have a negative amount of something. The "smaller" amount is always the one that is closest to 0, as 0 implies there is none or in other terms "the smallest possible amount."

>proves a+b=b+a
>concludes a=b

What do mean you by "smaller"?
If you mean one is less then the other then -100 is obviously less then 0.01.

If you mean by size that's a stupid question since negatives can't be represented in size.

It's all pretty contextual, though for size, 0.01 is smaller than -100 by 99.99
For instance though, would you rather have -$0.01 or -$100? One is a much larger debt, but $0.01 is significantly more money than -$100, so it's very much a semantics-based argument.

Show me one example where a negative can be used to represent size. Also your debt question is stupid because you're making them both negative. When one is positive.

Its not that hard guys. -100 is less then 0.01. It is not "smaller" because the smallest size is still above zero.

you stupid fahhot, if you had -100 in your bank account, and i had 0.01, who of us would have smaller wealth? Jesus Christus, please go fuck yourself

Which number is smaller?
(-0.01) or (-100.01)

0.01 aka 001 aka 1 is bigger than -100.

As -100 is actually the ascii bytes 2d313030 and 0.01 is 302e3031 that means -100 is the smaller number

Are you literally in 6th grade? I ask because some of my students say dumb shit like this.

-100

Wow you're all fucking retarded

...

You can compress a lot of information in 0.01 but -100 is more of an abstraction of a shadow than anything else.

So its not really comparable.

depends which direction you're facing
