Question

how do we find the standard for of a fraction with negative denominater

Answer 1

Answer:

As long as there is only one negative sign, either in front of the fraction, or in the numerator, or in the denominator, the fraction represents a negative quantity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall how equivalent fractions are created: multiply the original fraction by a fraction that equals one, where numerator and denominator have the same value. If we multiply the above result by 1 in the form of a negative one divided by itself to create another equivalent fraction:

we end up with the negative sign in the denominator. Summarizing these equivalent fraction results:

However, note that the negative sign must be applied to the entire numerator, or the entire denominator.
