the negative sign in a fraction can be moved right outside the fraction. Remember two negatives gecome a positive.
That' all folks !!!!!
12/-13 = - 12/13
-9/-8 = + 9/8
= 1 1/8
12/-13 is the same as -12/13 which cannot be simplified as its in its simplest form. same goes for the -9/-8 which equal to 9/8 since the two negatives equal a positive
If the numerator is positive and the denominator is negative, the fraction itself is negative. The case is the same if the numerator is negative and the denominator is positive.
If both the numerator and denominator are both negative (or, both positive), the fraction itself will be positive.
