Yes because if you think about it, -6.5 is the same as -6.50
If you plot -6.50 and -6.55 on a number line, -6.55 is more negative than -6.50; -6.50 is closer to 0 than -6.55.
-6.50 is more further right than -6.55.
If you have 5 and 3 on a number line, which is larger? Which is further left?
It's the same concept.
