Step 1
Anything divided by one gives itself.
\frac{1}{8}=-8\text{ and }\frac{-8}{1}=\frac{-12}{48}
8

−8
=
48
−12
Step 2
Convert -8−8 to fraction -\frac{64}{8}−
8
64
.
\frac{1}{8}=-\frac{64}{8}\text{ and }\frac{-8}{1}=\frac{-12}{48}
8

Step 3
Compare \frac{1}{8}
8
1
and -\frac{64}{8}−
8
64
.
\text{false}\text{ and }\frac{-8}{1}=\frac{-12}{48}false and

Step 4
Anything divided by one gives itself.
\text{false}\text{ and }-8=\frac{-12}{48}false and −8=
48
−12
Step 5
Reduce the fraction \frac{-12}{48}
48
−12
to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 1212.
\text{false}\text{ and }-8=-\frac{1}{4}false and −8=−

Step 6
Convert -8−8 to fraction -\frac{32}{4}−
4
32
.
\text{false}\text{ and }-\frac{32}{4}=-\frac{1}{4}false and −

\text{false}\text{ and }\text{false}false and false
Step 8
The conjunction of \text{false}false and \text{false}false is \text{false}false.
\text{false}false
Hint
Do the arithmetic.
Solution
\text{false}false
