Comparing and ordering on number line
The number line (really just the x axis) runs from negative infinity to positive infinity. The 0 point defines points to the left as negative and points to the right as positive.

Multiplication and Division of Rationale Numbers

If the signs are different, them the product is ALWAYS negative. This is pretty straightforward. Division follows the same rules as multiplication.
Tomorrow’s homework has 2 sections and tonight’s is pretty easy. I would recommend that students do some of tomorrow’s homework tonight so that your weekend is a little easier.
