Answer: Yes, -3 is greater than -4.5

Step-by-step explanation: The smaller number is always what falls further left on the number line. If we put -4.5 and -3 on a number line -4.5 would fall further left. Therefore, -3 is greater than -4.5

(With negative numbers, the bigger base number is the smaller number)
