We use / to indicate division, which of course is the fraction bar, and placing the expression to be divided in brackets
so yours would be
[4 - (-3) + 1]/[2 - 2÷(-2)]
= 8/3
I put (4 - (-3) + 1)/((2 - 2/(-2))
into the Google window and got
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=%284+-+%28-3%29+%2B+1%29%2F%28%282+-+2%2F%28-2%29%29&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
Google doesn't like the square brackets, had to change them
4-(-3)+1
2-2÷(-2)
There is supposed to be a fraction line in between the sets of numbers. I do not know how to make my computer underline this.
