Of all possible quotients of the numbers 10, -1/2, -5, and 1/5, which two produce the largest quotient? Which two produce the smallest quotient?
----------------
A large positive numerator and a small positive denominator will give you
a large result: 10/(1/5) = 50 is the lasgest quotient.
----------------
A large positive numerator and a small negative denominator will give you
a small result: 10/(-1/2) = -20
--------------------
Comment: You might think -20 is small but it is to the left of all positives
and also to the left of -19,-18,-17, etc.
