Answer:

  smaller for positive fractions

  larger for negative fractions

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing anything by a positive whole number greater than 1 gives a quotient that is closer to zero than the original dividend.

For positive fractions, the quotient is smaller.

  (1/2)/3 = 1/6 . . . . 1/6 < 1/2

For negative fractions, the quotient is larger.

  (-1/2)/3 = -1/6 . . . . -1/6 > -1/2
