Answer: A) 6/7

The two negatives cancel out when we divide or multiply. Think of negative as opposite. Having two opposites cancel.

The slash means fraction and it also means division

6/7 = 6 divided by 7

6/7 = six sevenths

So that allows us to go from fraction to decimal form 6/7 = 0.857 approximately after using your calculator or long division.
