_____

<em>Comment on fraction division</em>

There are two ways to divide fractions. In the end, they amount to the same thing.

<u>One</u>: multiply by the inverse of the denominator:

  (a/b) / (c/d) = (a/b)·(d/c) = (ad)/(bc)

<u>Two</u>: adjust the denominators to be the same, then use the ratio of numerators:

  (a/b) / (c/b) = a/c

__

Here, we could rewrite the fractions as ...

  (5/10) / (-4/10) = -5/4 . . . . using method two
