Is there a mathematical reason (like a proof) of why this happens? You can do it with examples and it is 'intuitive.' But the proof of why this happens is never shown in pedagogy, we just warn students to remember to flip the inequality when

• multiply or divide by a negative number both sides

$$-2>-3 \implies 2 < 3$$

• take reciprocals of same sign fractions both sides

$$\frac{3}{4} > \frac{1}{2} \implies \frac{4}{3} < 2$$

• multiply or divide by a negative number both sides

$$-2>-3 => 2 < 3$$$$-2>-3 \implies 2 < 3$$

• take reciprocals of same sign fractions both sides

$$\frac{3}{4} > \frac{1}{2} => \frac{4}{3} < 2$$$$\frac{3}{4} > \frac{1}{2} \implies \frac{4}{3} < 2$$
