The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
A negative times a positive is a negative.
No, a positive number divided by another positive number gives a positive result.
Addition can be used to solve a subtraction problem by using the concept of inverse operations. By adding the opposite of a number to another number, the result will be the same as subtracting the first number from the second number. This can be helpful in mental math or when trying to simplify complex subtraction problems.
Well, it would depend on what number the positives and negatives are.For example:1+1+2+(-4)= -1or4+7+3+(-2)= 12
This would be a positive number.

Wrong. False positives. Why? One of the major drawbacks from this type of approach [BIDS] is the increase number of false positives.
A negative times a positive is a negative.
False positives.

Depends. Add two positives and the sum is positive. Divide two positives and the quotient is positive. Multiply two positives and the product is positive. Subtract two positives and the difference could be positive, negative or zero. If the two numbers are the same, the difference is zero. If one number is larger than the other and we subtract the smaller from the larger, the difference is positive. Subtracting the larger number from the smaller one gives a negative difference.

Always, and for all basic operations, EXCEPT when you are subtracting the bigger positive number from a smaller positive number.
You count negs the same way you count positives-they are just below zero.
