What is a positive number plus a negative number?
You didn't say what the numbers were but if the negative number was of greater value (for example -2 + 1) than your answer would be negative. But if the positive number had greater value (2 + -1) than your answer would be positive.
Why are positive rational numbers greater than negative rational numbers?
Because 1. Positive integers are greater than negative integers, and 2. Division by a positive number preserves the order.
When will the quotient of two fractions less than 1 be greater than either fraction?
Yes. Consider two negative fractions. Since they are negative, both are less than 1. But their product is positive and so greater than either.
Is a positive number subtracted by positive number a negative number?
It depends on the numbers. 4-5= negative 1 5-4= 1 if the number you are taking away is greater than the number being taken from then the answer will be negative.
Why is -1 the greatest negative integer?
There are no whole negative numbers greater than -1. Therefore, -1 is the highest negative whole integer. It can be thought of this way: When positive integers get larger, an amount is greater, but when negative integers get larger, the amount is less, so -1 is the greatest negative integer.

multiply both sides by "negative 1" (or any negative number excluding 0). This would make the side on -1 become a positive number. Any positive number would be greater than 0.
