Unless the fraction is negative, the fraction is
If you multiply or divide the numbers, the answer will be negative.
no no no that is not what they were asking you would divide a whole number by a fraction by putting the whole number over one making it an improper fraction then divide those as you would regular fractions ........ hope it helped :)
Divide as you would divide positive fractions. That is, convert both fractions to positive, then do the division. After that, apply the rules for dividing positive and negative numbers. For example, if one of the fractions is positive and the other negative, the answer will be negative.
Multiply them by a number less than 1. Divide them by a number greater than 1. Add a negative number. Subtract a positive number. Any of the above will do. One could also reduce the font when printing the fraction.
Divide like normal. When dividing, if one number is negative and the other number is positive, the answer is negative. So the answer would be negative. For example, -24/8 = -3.
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
When you divide one number by another which is not a factor.
divide top number by bottom number
A negative and a fraction are both less than one. A fraction is a negative. When you order fractions and negatives greatest to least just put the negative first.
The quotient is less than the fraction.
When you divide or multiply positive and negative numbers, you first do the division or multiplication as normal. The next step is to assess whether or not the answer will be negative or positive. If the two numbers of the question were the same (negative and negative or positive and positive) then the answer will be positive. If the two numbers in the question were different (one negative and one positive) then the answer will be negative. Thus, if you divide a negative number by a positive number, the result will be the same as normal division, but the answer will be negative.
