Question

(01.05 LC)Which fraction is equivalent to negative 3 over 7? negative 7 over 3 3 over negative 7 3 over 7 7 over 3

Answer 1

Answer:

Second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$-\frac{3}{7}$

In order to find the answer, we will apply the fraction rule.

$\frac{a}{-b} =-\frac{a}{b}$
$\frac{3}{-7} =-\frac{3}{7}$
$=\frac{3}{-7}$

Not the third or fourth option because negatives do not equal a positive. It's also not option A because....

$-\frac{7}{3} =7\div3=-2\frac{1}{2}$

Your answer is indeed the second option.

Hope this helps.
