Answer:

A, C

Explanation:

You know that the product (-1)×(-1) = 1. This is true for any number of minus signs. The end result is that a product or quotient is ...

  • negative for an odd number of minus signs
  • positive for an even number of minus signs

This means expressions with an odd number of minus signs will not be equivalent to the given value.

Equivalent values are ...

-(1/(-8))

(-1)/(-8)
