Theres a saying: Dividing fractions dont ask why, just flip the second and multiply.
so a/b / c/d = a/b * d/c
-8/2 * -3/6
1. cross - cancel common factor 2
4/2 * -3/3
2. Multiply
-4(-3)/ 2*3
3. multiply numbers
--12/2*3
- -12/6
4. Apply fraction rule -a/b=- a/b
=-(-12/6)
5. divide
= -(-2)
6. Apply rule -(-a)=a
=2
Your answer would be 2
It depends on which number has the greatest absolute value.
Think about it as money
If you owe me $10, this is shown as -10
Now if I give you back 2 dollars (+2), How much money do I still owe you.
The equation is -10+2
I still owe you 8 dollars which is portrayed as -8
Hope this helps :)
