Question

Is a negative decimal always, sometimes, or never equal to a positive decimal? EXPLAIN.

Answer 1

Just like integers, it is sometimes equal to a positive decimal. For example the number is -5 and the positive number is 7, it can only be sometimes the same.

Answer 2

The Meaning of Negative Decimal is ,Decimal having negative sign behind it.

For example, -3.223, -0.987,-234.45.

On the number line , it is represented in the left side of Number 0.

A negative Decimal can be equal to Positive Decimal, if we take Modulus of the Negative Decimal.

⇒That is if A.abc and -A.abc are two decimals having Opposite sign then,

|A.abc|=|-A.abc|

Otherwise , A Negative Decimal is always Less than a positive Decimal.

⇒These, two Decimal are also equal,when we consider Distance between two points on both side of 0(Zero).

That is , →Distance of Point, A.abc from 0(Zero)

=A.abc-0

=A.abc

→Distance of Point, -A.abc from 0(Zero)

=0-(-A.abc)

=0+A.abc

=A.abc

⇒Negative decimal is, Sometimes,equal to a positive decimal.
