Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

When you look at the equation 3/-4 = y/-16, what it means is that the left side is the same as the right side. Because what you are looking at is a ratio, this means that the -4 is the same to 3 as the y is to the -16.

How can you get to -16 from -4? By multiplying it by 4. 4*-4=-16.

Now do the same for 3 to get your y. 3*4 = y.

3*4 = 12.

John's. Find the first common multiple of both denominators, in this case it's going to be ten, then the number you had to multiply to change these numbers to the common multiply you do to the numerators. so it works out like so:

Deena has a bottle of 4/10
John has a bottle of 25/10 or 2 1/2 (simplified)
