Which is bigger negative two thirds or negative three fourths?

If these were positive numbers then 3/4 would be bigger than 2/3.However, as they are negative then -2/3 is bigger.-2/3 = -0.67 (to 2 decimal places only)-3/4 = -0.75-0.67 (approx) is greater than -0.75 because it is closer to the positive numbers.


Does a negative plus a negative equal a negative or a positive?

This depends on what the numbers are. For example,6 + (-4) = 6 - 4 = 2 which is a positive numberOR5 + (-8) = 5 - 8 = -3 which is a negative numberIn general, if you are adding a positive number a to a negative number b,if a is less than b, the result will be negative.if a is greater than b, the result will be positive.


Does a positive plus a negtitve equal positive?

I think you're mixed up with the multiplication rules. But I know a much easier trick for multiplication rule. You count the number of negatives there are in the operation. If the number of negatives is an even number than the answer is positive. If there is an odd amount then the answer is negative. his only works for multiplication and division. You won't know if the answer os a positive plus a negative is until you determine the numbers. For example: 4+(-2)=2 but 2+(-4)=-2 If the positive number is bigger than the negative number (not counting the negative sign) than yes, the answer is positive. If the negative is bigger than your answer is negative. That'll be...1 trust point now.

What is a fractionwhen the numerator is bigger than the denominator?

There is no specific name. -3 is greater than -4 and (-3)/(-4) = 3/4 is a positive proper fraction. 3 is greater than -4 and 3/(-4) = -3/4 is a negative proper fraction. 3 is greater than -2 and 3/(-2) = -3/2 is a negative improper fraction. 4 is greater than 3 and 4/3 is a positive improper fraction. Thus, the fraction can be negative or positive, proper or improper.
