How do you use a number line to compare two integers?
Whatever is farther to the right is greater.
How would you use a number line to put integers in order from greatest to least?
Smaller numbers always go to the left of larger number on the number line.
How do you multipy integers?
You multiply or divide integers just as you do whole numbers, except you must keep track of the signs. To multiply or divide signed integers, always multiply or divide the absolute values and use these rules to determine the sign of the answer.When you multiply two integers with the same signs, the result is always positive. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer positive.Positive x positive = positiveNegative x negative = positiveWhen you multiply two integers with different signs, the result is always negative. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer negative.Positive x negative = negativeNegative x positive = negative.
How can we use integers to represent the velocity of a number?
You cannot because a number has no velocity.
How to multiply integers?
Integers are simply "whole" numbers such as 0,1,2,3 and so forth (as opposed to 1.5 for instance). To multiply integers we either have to know our times tables or know how to make use of a computer. To know both is preferable.If, as an absolute minimum, you learn the times tables for all the 10 digits (up to and including times 9 for each one) then you will be able to multiply any two integers (within practical limits). In fact you will be able to multiply any 2 rational numbers. You might need to use a pen and paper but, given enough time, you could do it.Otherwise, you can use a computer (such as a calculator) to do the work for you. Of course, one should not solely rely on computers and should be able to make calculations, such as these, unaided when required.The only other piece of information you need to know for the multiplication of integers is that whenever you multiply two numbers with the same sign (i.e. two positive or two negative numbers) the result will be a positive number. Whenever you multiply two numbers with different signs (i.e. a positive and a negative number) the result will be negative.
