Answer:


-(3)/(4)

Explanation:

The bars either side of an expression or a value are the absolute value symbol.

Absolute value means how far a number is from zero.

Therefore, the absolute value of a number is its positive numerical value.

Given:


-\left|-(3)/(4)\right|

Therefore, the absolute value of the fraction inside the bars is its positive value, i.e. ³/₄. As there is a negative sign outside the bars, this makes the value negative.

Therefore:


\implies -\left|-(3)/(4)\right|=-(3)/(4)
