Question

which fraction is equivalent to -(7/8)
-7/-8
-(-7/8)
-(7/-8)
-7/8

Answer 1

To determine which of the given fractions is equivalent to \(-\frac{7}{8}\), let's analyze each option:

1. \(-\frac{7}{-8} = \frac{7}{8}\) (not equivalent)
2. \(-(-\frac{7}{8}) = \frac{7}{8}\) (not equivalent)
3. \(-\frac{7}{8}\) (this is the same as the original)
4. \(-\frac{7}{8} = -\frac{7}{8}\) (this is the same as the original)

The equivalent fraction to \(-\frac{7}{8}\) is simply \(-\frac{7}{8}\).

So, the correct options that are equivalent to \(-\frac{7}{8}\) in the list are the last two:
- \(-(-\frac{7}{8})\) gives \(\frac{7}{8}\) (not equivalent)
- \(-\frac{7}{8}\) (this is equivalent)

Therefore, only \(-\frac{7}{8}\) is equivalent to itself. The answer includes just \(-\frac{7}{8}\).
