Yes, 0 is greater than -1.

A good way to learn this for future math problems is to picture a line with the numbers beneath it, with 0 being the base, or the 'starting point'. Anything to the left of the 0 is less than 0, and anything to the right of 0 is more than 0. The further to the left you go, the more the numbers decrease in value. For example:

____________________________________________________________

-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

As you go left of the zero, the number decreases, and as you go right of the zero, the number increases. Using this example, you can see that the negative 7 (-7) is greater than negative 10 (-10) because it is further to the left of the zero (0).

Can the average be zero?

Sure. If some of the items on the list are positive and some are negative, then their average can be positive, negative, or zero. But if all of them are positive, then their average must be more than zero. Remember that the average is always greater than the least item on the list, and less than the greatest one.


What is the difference between a positive and negative fraction?

If you mean the difference in terms of numerical value, then it is the positive faction minus the negative faction, which is calculated as the positive fraction plus the absolute value* of the negative fraction - just like the difference between a positive and negative number. * The absolute value of a number is the value of the number ignoring any minus sign; eg abs(-4) = 4 = abs(4). If you mean the difference in terms of where they are on the number line, then the positive fraction is one side of zero (it is greater than zero) and the negative fraction is the other side of zero (it is less than zero).
