What sign do you get when you divide a positive integer by a negative integer?
If you divide a positive number (it doesn't really matter if it is an integer or a fraction) by a negative number, the result is negative.
Do you only flip the inequality when you divide by a negative number?
Yes you do, you also flip the inequality sign if you multiply by a negative # The > and < signs are strictly the "Greater than" and "Less than" signs. The inequality sign is an = with a / stroke through it. If you divide an inequality by -1 it remains an inequality.
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a positive value you must change the direction of the inequality sign?
No. Only when you divide by a negative.
What happens if you divide one third?
dividing by one third is the same as multiplying by three
If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a number you need to reverse the inequality sign?
negative flip
