How are negative integers used in the real world?

Whenever you have two opposites, you can use positive number for one, and negative numbers for the other. For example: * Having money might be positive, owing money might be negative (owing money is worse than just having nothing). * Getting money might be a positive change; spending money (or otherwise losing it), a negative change. * Places above sea level might be assigned a positive altitude; places below sea level, a negative altitude. * If latitudes north of the equator are defined as positive, then latitudes south of the equator would be negative. Or the other way round.

How are negative rational numbers used in day to day life?

Whenever you have quantities or measurements in two opposing directions, you can label one of them as positive, the other as negative. One clear example is money - you can have money (positive), or you can owe money (negative). Your amount of money in a given month can increase (positive), or it can decrease (a "negative increase"). Another example is altitude above sea level - when you are BELOW sea level, you can use a negative number to express your "altitude above sea level". As to "rational" - most countries use a main currency (for example, U.S. dollar) and a fractional part thereof (for example, cents). Similarly, the altitude above sea levels is usually expressed in meters; but you can express smaller increments in fractions or decimals.
