Yes it is.
No. It is 5 times smaller.
Yes. -3 is smaller than +5. Any negative number is smaller than any positive number.
Negative numbers are smaller than zero and are considered less than positive numbers. For example, -1 is smaller than 0, and -5 is smaller than -1. The further a negative number is from zero, the smaller its value. Thus, all negative numbers are less than any positive number.
-3
It depends. If the positive is bigger, than it will be positive (-5+10=5 is the same as 10-5=5). If it is smaller than the negative, it will be negative (-10+5=-5 is the same as 5-10)
No, negative 13 is not greater than negative 5. In the number line, as you move to the left, the numbers become smaller. Therefore, negative 5 is closer to zero than negative 13, making it greater in value.

any positive number is larger than a negative. a bigger negative number like -1000 is smaller than -500, which is smaller than 0, think about it like a number line.
No negative 5 is greater than negative 7. Remember, when you go right on a number line the amount of what you have gets bigger. If you go left on the number line the amount you have gets smaller. In terms, think of this. If you were sitting at $-5, how would you get to negative $-7? You'd go left(spend)? So this means that the amount is getting smaller.
Yes.
Negative 9 minus 5 can be solved by first recognizing that subtracting a positive number is equivalent to adding its negative. Therefore, negative 9 minus 5 is the same as negative 9 plus negative 5. When adding two negative numbers, you add their absolute values and keep the negative sign. Thus, negative 9 plus negative 5 equals negative 14.
When comparing negative numbers or a negative number and a positive number, the word "smaller" is confusing because it is unclear whether you mean that the number is less than another number or that the absolute value of the number is less than the absolute value of another number. You should use the phrase "less than" instead. A number's absolute value is how far it is from zero; for negative numbers think of it as the number without the negative sign. Negative eleven is less than negative three because negative eleven is farther left on the number line, but the absolute value of negative three, which is shown as |-3|, is less than the absolute value of negative eleven because negative three is closer to zero.
