How do you multiply a negative number with a positive fraction?
It is easiest to think about the signs of the numbers separately from their values (as though the numbers were positive):First consider the signs:Multiplying positive by positive => result is positiveMultiplying positive by negative => result is negativeMultiplying negative by positive => result is negativeMultiplying negative by negative => result is positiveOr to summarise:If the numbers are the same sign (both positive or both negative) the result is positive.If the numbers are of opposite signs (one positive, one negative) the result is negative.Then multiply the values of the two numbers together (multiply them as though both were positive) and put the sign on the result as decided above.eg to multiply -24 by 3:negative times positive => result negative (different signs)24 x 3 = 72sign found in step 1 to be negative, so -24 x 3 = -72eg to multiply -15 by -1/3negative times negative => result positive (same signs)15 x 1/3 = 5sign found in step 1 to be positive, so -15 x -1/3 = 5eg to multiply 12 by -1/4positive times negative => result negative (different signs)12 x 1/4 = 3sign found in step 1 to be negative, so 12 x -1/4 = -3.
When you multiply an positive number by negative exponet is the answer negative or positive?

Why is it when you add negative and negative it equals a positive and negative and positive equals a negative?
Use a number line to image this. Subtraction means "switch directions". ..._-2_-1_0_+1_+2_... Adding a negative is the same as subtracting. You switch directions on the number line. -1 + -1 = -2 is the same as -1 - 1 = -2. Adding negative numbers only makes the answer more negative. If you add a positive close to zero and a negative far from zero you get a negative. If you add a positive far from zero to a negative close to zero you get a positive. Your question seems to indicate confusion with multiplication rather than addition. When you multiply 2 negatives, you switch directions twice and end up going to the right (Positive) on the number line. remember keep change change.
What are the rules for adding positive and negative numbers?
If you are adding a positive number, then this is the same as normal addition. For instance, 4 add positive 5 is 9. negative 1 add positive 8 is 7. If you are adding a negative number, then this is the same as subtracting that number. For instance 6 add negative 1 is 5. negative 7 add negative 2 is negative 9.

What two numbers add to make negative eleven and multiply to make 28?
List numbers that multiply to make 28 and find their sums. Since negative times a negative is positive, list the negatives. -1, -28 = -29 -2, -14 = -15 -4, -7 = -11 Aha! -4 and -7 multiply to make 28 and add to -11; therefore, -4 and -7 are the two numbers.
Why does a positive divided by a negative equals a negative?
Multiply both by -1, (therefore not changing the result) and the calculation now equals a negative divided by a positive, which is negative. (Half a deficit, is still a deficit)
Why is it when you add a positive number and a negative number it turns negative?
It does not always become negative , only if the negative number is greater then the positive number. Ex:-5 + 6 = 1 -6 + 5 = -1
