When comparing a positive number with a negative number which is the greater number?
The positive number is always greater. However, the modulus of a negative number may be greater. Here is the number line. -infinity,.... -5,-4,-3,-2,-1, 0,+1,+2,+3,+4,+5 .... + infinity. So reading the number line, +2 > -4 . However, the modulus of '-4' is greater than the modulus of +2. . It is written as |-4| > |+2|, that is the number four is greater than the number two. Note the pair of vertical lines. NB I have put in the positive (+) sign to compare against the negative (-), however, a number that does not show a sign is read as positive(+).

2/4 is greater than 1/4. When you compare fractions with like denominators, the greater numerator is the greater number.
Will the product of a fraction less than one and a whole number be less than or greater than the whole number explain?
The product is less than or greater than the whole number depending on the sign of the fraction.(1/2) * 4 = 2, which is smaller than 4.(1/2) * -4 = -2, which is smaller than 4.(-1/2) * 4 = -2, which is smaller than -4.(-1/2) * -4 = 2, which is greater than -4.
