Is positive divided by negative negative or positive?
Yes, when a positive is divided by a negative, it is negative. ex: 4/-2 would equal -2. It takes two negatives to make a positive in math when you are multiplying or dividing.
What is a negative divided by a positive divided by a negative?
The best way to figure this out would be to use an example. So suppose you had a -20 and divided that by a positive 5. That would give you a -4. Take that -4 and divide it by a -2 which would give you a positive 2 (knowing that two negative numbers cancel out to make a positive number). Thus a negative divided by a positive divided by a negative would give you a positive number.
How can negative 1 be greater then 0?
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.
What are some common misconseptions students have while working with negative and positive numbers?
Students may have this problem, -4+5 and the answer would be a negative because negative plus a positive is going to be negative.. and they could mess up and put it as a positive which would make the problem incorrect.. so always be careful when working with math! :)glad i could help.
What is negative eight minus two?
Negative - a positive would make it keep it change it change it so the problem would look like this -8 + -2 = -6, Im in honors math just to let you know, with all the subtraction problems, if they are integers,you do keep it change it change it keep the first digit and don't do anything to it change the subtraction sign to an addition sign and if the next integer is positive make it a negative if it is a negative make it a positive.
