how multiply a fraction with a negative denominator by two​

First, let's write a fraction with a negative denominator:


(5)/(-2)

The denominator is negative.

Now, we multiply this fraction by 2, as shown:


\begin{gathered} (5)/(-2)*2 \\ =(5*2)/(-2) \\ =(10)/(-2) \\ =-5 \end{gathered}

The answer is -5
