Yes, -3/-6 is the same as -3/6. However, the first is an improper formatting for fractions. It's most commonly taught in early fractional and negative fractional education (such as addition) to assist students in remembering both numbers are negative. It should be read as "Negative three over six".
No because -3/-6 = 1/2 and -3/6 = -1/2
When you subtract a negative from a positive, its like adding a positive. 8-(-3) is the same as 8+3. Always remember, subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number:6 - (-3) = 6 + 3Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number:6 - (-3) = 6 + 3Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number:6 - (-3) = 6 + 3Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number:6 - (-3) = 6 + 3
positive 4 over 9
-3 and 2/3
Negative. Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive. -2 + -3= -2 - 3= -5, not 1
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
It's the same as adding a positive number.
positive 0.4 (or 2/5)
the reciprocal would be negative 3 over 7, unless you are trying to find the negative reciprocal, then the answer would be positive 3 over 7. hope this helped you :)
You carry out the division ignoring the negative sign and then re-insert the negative sign. It does not matter which of the two numbers is negative. But if they are both negative, then the answer is positive.-2/3 = -2/32/-3 = -2/3-2/-3 = 2/3
When you subtract a negative number, it has the same effect as adding a positive number. Therefore, in this instance, 16 - (-3) = 16 + 3 = 19.
When you add a positive number and a negative number, it is the same as subtracting the negative number from the positive number. For example:4 + (-5) is the same as 4 - 5 (which is -1).One more example:(-10) + 15 is the same as 15 + (-10) (because it doesn't matter what order you add numbers), which is the same as 15 - 10. (which is 5).A bit more:That depends on the value of the positive (plus) and the negative (-) numbers. For example, if you add a positive 5 with a negative 3 (-3), the answer will be a positive 2. But if you reverse it and add a negative 5 (-5) with a positive 3 (+3), the answer will be a -2.
