  1. (2/6) / (-1/3)


  2. Think of this problem as a fraction.

    (4-2)/(4+2)

    ---------------

    (1-2)/(1+2)

    Now simplify inside the parentheses.

    2/6

    -----

    -1/3

    2/6 is the same as 1/3, right?

    1/3

    -----

    -1/3

    The simplified answer is -1.

  3. Hi Liz:

    The nominator is (4-2)/(4+2) = 2/6=1/3

    similarly the denominator is : -1/3

    Thus the result is (1/3)/(-1/3)=-1
