twenty over twenty-four

b
negative twenty over twenty-four

c
negative fifteen over thirty-two

d
fifteen over thirty-two

We all know that when divideing two negative numbers we always get a positive answer so with that in mind we can continue...first by using a method of "keep,change, and flip" this means you have to keep -5/8 the same then change the divideing sign to a multiplication sign and finally you have to flip -3/4 to -4/3 like this:

-5/8 x -4/3 =

Lets take away the negative signs since we know our answer would be positive anyway...

5/8 x 4/3 =

Then we proceed as we normally would with this equation ( 5 x 4 = 20 and

8 x 3 = 24)

5/8 x 4/3 = 20/24

So, our answer is twenty over twenty-four which is A.
