<em>First, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator.</em>
<u>Factors of 18</u>: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
<u>Factors of 24</u>: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
<u>Common Factors</u>: 1, 2, 3, 6
<u>GCF</u>: 6
<em>Now, divide the numerator by 6 and the denominator by 6.</em>
18 ÷ 6 = 3
24 ÷ 6 = 4
<em>Set these as your new numerator and denominator.</em>
The answer is (b).

Use the equation
For A. The problem would be set up like so
5 _ -1
--------
4 _ -2
Start by subtracting 5 minus -1 which is 6 because minus a negative becomes a positive then subtract 4 minus -2 which is 6, remember minus a negative becomes a positive, then divide 6/6 to get 1
For B.
-5 _ -0
----------
3 _ -1
Again subtract -5 by -0 which no matter what will be -5. Then make -1 positive because it's a subtracted negative so it becomes 3+1 which gives you 4. Your answer is -5/4
If you need help with the rest message me good luck
