Answer:

A fraction is a mathematical expression that represents the division of two numbers, called the numerator and the denominator. The numerator represents the number of parts being considered, while the denominator represents the number of parts in the whole. A fraction with a numerator of 6 and a denominator of negative 8 can be simplified to -3/4. To find an equivalent fraction, we can multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number without changing the value of the fraction. In this case, the fraction with a numerator of negative 8 and a denominator of 6 is equivalent to -4/3.
