I am on the last step of this equation but I am confused

OpenStudy (waheguru):

140/-20=p

OpenStudy (waheguru):

Doesnt the whole fraction become negative ? so the answer is 7

mathslover (mathslover):

\[\huge{\frac{140}{-20}=p}\] \[\huge{-7=p}\] u r right congo

OpenStudy (waheguru):

I thought when onr number in a fraction was negative the whole fraction becomes negative

mathslover (mathslover):

yes it is true .. but when both are negative the whole fraction becomes positive as - and - gets cancelled

OpenStudy (waheguru):

That makes sence thanks @mathslover
