Answer:
The equivalent to -(-5.25) = 5.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

We need to determine the equivalent to -(-5.25)
some of the sign rules are:
+(+) = +
−(−) = +
+(−) = -
−(+) = -
Thus,

Applying the rule: -a(-a) = a

Therefore, the equivalent to -(-5.25) = 5.25
When a negative number multiplies a negative number, it becomes positive
since it is multiplication, just multiply across, you do not need same denominators
5/8 x 16/25 = 80/200
80/200 = 40/100 = 20/50 = 2/5
2/5 is your answer
hope this helps
