Explanation:

what is the real problem definition ?

is there now an absolute value around the top "-2", or not ?

in any case, remember, when we divide 2 rational numbers like this :

a/b / c/d

the result is

"outer multiplication" over "inner multiplication" :

a×d / b×c

as alternative you can always also say

a/b / c/d = a/b × d/c = a×d / b×c

so,

if the problem is

3/-2 / |-4/-2|

the result is

3×2 / 4×-2 = 6/-8 = - 3/4

if the problem is

3/|-2| / |-4/-2|

the result is

3×2 / 4×2 = 6/8 = 3/4

please pick the solution based on the actual problem.

Answer:

The answer is C: 3/4

Explanation:

Your equation is equal to (3/2)/(4/2) due to absolute value (all numbers are positive even if negative symbol is infront of it) which is equal to 3/4.
