When dividing negative number by a positive number what is the results?
A negative number divided by a positive number will be a negative number. For example: -20 / 4 = -5 -100 / 2 = -50 Here are the other cases of division by positive or negative numbers.

How do you order two numbers written in scientific notation?
If the signs at the front of the numbers are different then the one with the negative sign is smaller. So the question can be simplified to ordering two numbers that have the same sign. Suppose they are both positive numbers. If one of them has a smaller exponent (power of 10) than the other, then that number is smaller. That then leaves two positive numbers with the same exponent. So the only difference is in the mantissa (or the bit before the power of 10). Since the powers of 10 are the same in both cases, the smaller mantissa gives the smaller number. Going back to the case where both numbers are negative: their ordering is the same as for negative integers, for example. The bigger absolute value gives the smaller negative number.
If the bigger number is positive and the smaller number is a negative. Would the answer be a negative or a positive?
POSITIVE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A SMALL NUMBER SO LIKE 16 MINUS -4 IT WOULD BE POSITIVE
What do you get when you subtract a positive from a positive?
Depends. If you are subtracting a bigger number from a smaller number, such as 3 - 5, you will get a negative result, -2. If you are subtracting a smaller number from a bigger number, such as 12 - 3 you will get a positive result, 9.

Adding a negative number to a positive number?
The way you add a negative number to a positive number is very simple to learn. First you need to check which number is bigger, the negative or the positive. Then you subtract the smaller number from the bigger number. Whichever number is bigger is the sign you keep. If the bigger number was positive your going to put a + in front of the answer. If its negative your going to put a minus sign in front .Here's an example: -5 + +9 = +4

you subtract the bigger number from the smaller numberyou get your answeryou look for the bigger number an put the symbol that it has
Are negative numbers bigger than positive numbers?
no negative numbers are always smaller than positive numbers..... you can draw out a numberline and see any number to the left of the number zero is negative and to the right is positive
Negative number plus a positive?
If the negative number is bigger then the sum would be negative.If the positive number is bigger then the sum is positive.
What are the rules for multiplying and dividing positive and negative fractions?
negative times negative equals positive negative times positive equals.....you subtract the bigger number by the smaller number and keep the sign of the bigger number positive times positive equals positive im pretty sure thats right but i would make sure with your math teacher abt the second one i said
If you add a positive and a negative number how can you tell whether the answer will be positive negative or equal?
If the negative number is bigger then the answer will be negative If the bigger number is positive then the answer will be positive. All you do is subtract the two numbers and take the sign of the bigger number Ex (+2)+(-7)=(-5)
When you add a positive and a negative what does it become?
