Best Answer

-1 is considered greater than -8, because even though the actual number is smaller, they are in the negatives. If there were two people, one 8 dollars in debt and one 1 dollar in debt, the person 1 dollar in debt would be better off. Also, if there are two numbers, one positive and one negative, the positive number is always greater than the negative number.

Would 90 or 90 and one eighth be more precise?

Depends on the answer, If the question was what is 45*2, 90 would be more precise and 90 and 1/8 is WRONG. But if it was what is 88+2 and 1/8 then, of course 90 and 1/8 would be more precise. On a different but similar subject, you can convert 90 and 1/8 to 90.125
