Question

(01.05 LC)Which fraction is equivalent to negative 3 over 7? negative 7 over 3 3 over negative 7 3 over 7 7 over 3

Answer 1

Second option

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`-(3)/(7)`

In order to find the answer, we will apply the fraction rule.


`(a)/(-b) =-(a)/(b)`

`(3)/(-7) =-(3)/(7)`

`=(3)/(-7)`

Not the third or fourth option because negatives do not equal a positive. It's also not option A because....


`-(7)/(3) =7/3=-2(1)/(2)`

Your answer is indeed the second option.

Hope this helps.
