Which fraction is equal to 7/-9? A. -7/9 B. -7/-9 C. 7/--9 D. --7/9​

Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

`\text{A) }(-7)/(9)`

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

• We can apply the rules for products and quotients of values with different signs.

• If the signs of two numbers are the same, then the product/quotient would be positive.
• If the signs are different, the sign of the product/quotient would be negative.

`\boxed{\text{Equivalent Faction}}\\\\\rightarrow (7)/(-9)= -0.77777...... \leftarrow\\\\------------\\\text{Option A: } (-7)/(9) = -0.77777......\\\\\text{Option B: } (-7)/(-9)= 0.77777......\\\\\boxed{\text{Recall that if two numbers have the same sign then the product or quotient would be positive.}}\\\\\text{Option C: }(7)/(-(-9))=(7)/(9) = 0.77777......\\\\\text{Option D: } (-(-7))/(9)=(7)/(9) = 0.77777......`⸻⸻⸻⸻

Option A's fraction is equivalent.
