If you have a fraction with one of the numbers negative does that make the whole thing negative or positive? And what about both being negative?

Remember that a fraction is division of two numbers.

When you divide and one number is negative, the quotient is negative. For example -3/4= -0.75 and 3/-4= -0.75.

If both are negative, the quotient is positive. For example, -3/-4= 0.75.

However, it is important to note that negatives on fractions are traditionally written on the numerator and not the denominator.
