Numbers less than zero are "negative numbers".
Because positive numbers are to the right of negative numbers on the number line. If you have two numbers, one the negative of the other, and you add the positive to the negative, you get zero. If you add the positive to zero, you get a positive number. So positive numbers are an increase from zero, which is an increase from negative numbers. A negative number may have a greater absolute value than a positive number, but it will always be less than a positive number.
negative fourth fifths is less than negative one-third
No - negative four is one less than negative 3.
Because a negative times a negative always equals a positive. For example, -2 times -2 equals 4.
