Why does a whole number divided by a fraction less than one have a quotient greater than the whole number dividend?
If you think about it, it makes sense. when you divide a whole number (call that number X) by any number less than it(call that Z), the quotient (answer) is smaller than the first number. For example, 10/2=5, 12/4=3. Also, the lower the Z number is (ignoring if it were 1), the higher the quotient is. Therefore, since fractions are lower than 0, the quotient will be higher than the X number.

Why is it necessary to reverse the inequality symbol when dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number provide an example?
Let us look at an example. Here is an inequality: 3 is greater than 2.We write this as: 3 > 2.Now let us divide both numbers by a negative number. Let us divide by -1 to keep things as simple as possible.3/-1 = -32/-1 = -2So now the sign of the inequality must be reversed:-3 < -2.-3 is smaller than -2 and so the sign was reversed to show this. This holds true for any example we can think of.Why is this so?If we were to divide two numbers by a positive number then we would not need to change the sign of the inequality. 4 > 2. (divide by 2) 2 > 1.However, when we divide a positive number by a negative the result is always negative. A number that was higher when positive will be lower when negative.Think of a number as representing the distance from 0.4 is further away from 0 than 3 is. When the distance is greater in a positive way then the number is larger. However when the difference is greater in a negative way, such as with -4 and -3 (-4 is further away from 0) then the number is smaller.This is what happens when we divide by a negative number and so the inequality sign must be reversed to show this.
Does difference mean subtract or divide?
You would use subtract to find the difference between values, by subtracting the lower value from the higher one.
Need to round up 4.125?
The answer is 4.12. To round it you have to look on the third and second numbers.If the third number is lower than 5, then the second number stays the same. If the third number is higher than 5, then the second number increases by 1 only.For example:7.56246768As you can see that the third number is 2. And two is lower than 5. That means that second number ( 6 ) stays the same.Other example :5.638Here the third number is 8. So that means that second number ( 3 ) is going to increase by one only. So than 3 becomes 4 and you get rid of 8.The answer is 6.63PS: You don't always have to look at second and third number. To round like for example to fourth number, you have to look at fifth number and if fifth number is higher than 5, then you increase your fourth number by one, if its lower, than you don't change fourth number and get rid of other numbers that are after it.Hope this helps.
How do you show evidence of the higher the mass the higher the density and the hgher the volume the lower the density?
The only "evidence" you need is the definition of density, which is mass divide by volume. For example, if you divide the same mass by a larger volume, you get a smaller result.

Are multiples higher or lower than the number?
Equal to and higher.
Do you round the second number when the third number is a five or higher?
You are free to round any number you like. The point about the next decimal being a five or higher is that you would then round up to a higher figure (for example, .0835 can be rounded up to .084) whereas, if the number is 4 or less, you would round down to a lower number (for example, .083 can be rounded down to .08).
Is the suffix ite associated with a higher or lower number of atoms?
The suffix -ite is associated with a lower number of atoms. The suffix -ic is associated with a higher number of atoms.
Does the lower the AM frequency go require night power to be lower or higher?
Does the lower the AM radio frequency number goes require night power to be lower or higher?
What two numbers have a total of 10 and a difference of 1.4?
Subtract the difference from 10 and divide by 2. This gives the lower number. Now add 1.4 to that and you get the higher number. If you find that beyond you try 4.3 and 5.7
Is higher number in Celsius colder than the lower number?
Shaft
Is higher number in Fahrenheit colder than the lower number?
In Fahrenheit, higher numbers represent hotter temperatures.
With the mean absolute percentage error is a higher or lower number better?

What is the difference between a unit rate and a unit price?
example of unit price 250 cell phone minutes for 24.99 a month to figure out the unit price divide 24.99 bye 250 24.99/250 and then round up if 3rd decimal number is higher than 5 drop 3rd decimal number if lower than 5. Unit rate example 55 mph
What number is bigger a lower negative number or a higher negative number?
The question depends on what lower and higher mean. The number that is the smaller of two when you ignore the negative signs, becomes the bigger of the two when you put negative signs before them.
