Positive slope is my best guess for the informations givin
Answer:
Positive: Decimals are a part of a whole just like fractions are a part of a whole. Therefore, a positive decimal is always greater than a negative decimal.
Negative: When you have two negative decimals, the one closer to zero is always greater. The farther a negative decimal is from zero, the smaller its value.
All of it put together (same text as above):
Decimals are a part of a whole just like fractions are a part of a whole. Therefore, a positive decimal is ALWAYS greater than a negative decimal. When you have two negative decimals, the one closer to zero is always greater. The farther a negative decimal is from zero, the smaller its value.
It works because even if the numbers are broken apart, you are still multiplying the numbers by their values, it's only different because once broken apart, it's in expanded form instead of standard form. It also makes multiplication easier since you don't have to deal with such large numbers.
2/9 divided by 1/2. invert the second fraction and multiply
2/9 * 2/1 = 4/9
