Question

Divide:

-9 divided by (- 4) (show as an improper fraction)

Answer 1

That's not an improper fraction, since -9 has less value than -4.
Anyway, it looks like: \[\large \large \frac{ -9 }{ -4 }\] Now when you are dividing a negative number by a negative number, then it would become positive. Same if you multply a negative number by a negative number, you would still get a positive.

So you would get rid of the negative. Now it should look like: \[\large \large \frac{ 9 }{ 4 }\]
