A. The fraction -3 over -5 is equivalent to, the opposite of or the recipient of. The fraction -(3/5)

Answer 1

The fraction \(-\frac{3}{-5}\) simplifies to \(\frac{3}{5}\) since dividing a negative by a negative results in a positive. Therefore, \(-\frac{3}{-5}\) is equivalent to \(\frac{3}{5}\).

On the other hand, \(-\frac{3}{5}\) is simply the negation of \(\frac{3}{5}\).

So, to summarize:

• The fraction \(-\frac{3}{-5}\) is equivalent to \(\frac{3}{5}\).
• The fraction \(-\frac{3}{5}\) is the opposite of \(\frac{3}{5}\).

Thus, \(-\frac{3}{-5}\) is equivalent to \(\frac{3}{5}\), not to \(-\frac{3}{5}\).
