Answer 1

To determine which of the fractions does not have the same value as the others, we can simplify each one.

1. **−3/7**: This is negative three-sevenths.
2. **3/−7**: This is three over negative seven, which simplifies to −3/7 (as dividing by a negative gives a negative result).
3. **−3/−7**: This is negative three over negative seven, which simplifies to 3/7 (as the two negatives cancel out).
4. **−3/7**: Again, this is negative three-sevenths, same as the first option.

Now we summarize the simplified values:
- **−3/7** = −3/7
- **3/−7** = −3/7
- **−3/−7** = 3/7
- **−3/7** = −3/7

The fraction that does not have the same value as the others is **−3/−7**, which simplifies to **3/7**.
