What is a positive difference in math terms?
When you subtract the smaller number from the larger number in the problem. The answer should always be positive.
What does a positive number minus a positive equal to?
A number.We can't be more specific because we don't know if the second number is larger, smaller, or the same as the first. If it's larger, the result will be negative; if it's smaller, the result will be positive; if they're the same, the result will be zero.
If a negative number is smaller than a positive number and you multiply them what does it equal?

Is the difference of two positive numbers positive or negative?
If you are asking how many numbers difference is there between two numbers, then it will be positive. If you are referring to subtraction, if the number you are subtracting from is the larger number, it will be positive. If it is smaller it will be negative. 3 - 2 = 1 (3, the number being subtracted from, is larger, so the answer is positive) 2 - 3 = -1 (2, the number being subtracted from, is smaller, so the answer is negative)
How does a positive number and a positive number become a negative number?

Is the sum of two integers positive or negative?
If for the two integers a + b = c, a is larger than zero and b is larger than the absolute value of the first number, then c is always positive. If a is smaller than zero, and b is larger than the absolute value of the second number, then c is positive. If a is smaller than zero, and b is smaller than the absolute value of the second number, then c is negative.
Do clarinet reeds become smaller the bigger the number my 4 is smaller then my 2 and a half?
