Answer:

No, -5 is less than -3

Explanation:

When we talk about negative numbers, it's important to note the difference in a negative number being greater than another negative number simply because of its value.

In this case, -5 is not greater than -3, because on the number line, anything farther to the left is less than anything to the right of it. In this case, -5 is to the left of -3, hence -5 is less than 3
