Choose all answers that are correct.

A. -10/-25


B. -2/10 <-(In that only the 2 is negative)



C. -4/-25


D.5/ -25

Answer 1

But multiplying both the numerator and the denominator with the same value, the value of the number itself is not changed. Thus for example. \[\frac{ 1 }{ 10 } = \frac{ 2 }{ 20 }\]

How I got that was by multiplying \[\frac{ 1 }{ 10 }(\frac{ 2 }{ 2 })\] which equals \[\frac{ 2 }{ 20 }\]

Now just simply remember that multiplying a - with + or a + with - equals a -. Then test all the possible answers.

Answer 2

So its C. & B.?
