Answer 1

To determine which sign makes the statement true, we first need to simplify the fractions involved.

The fraction \(-2/4\) can be simplified to \(-1/2\).

Now, we compare \(-1/2\) with \(-1/2\):

\[
-1/2 \, ? \, -2/4 \quad \text{is} \quad -1/2 \, ? \, -1/2
\]

Since \(-1/2\) is equal to \(-1/2\), the correct sign to make the statement true is:

\[
=
\]

Thus, the complete statement is:

\(-1/2 = -2/4\)
