Which of the following does the same value as the others?
A. -3/7
B. -3/-7
C. -3/7
D. 3/-7
All of the options A, B, C, and D represent the fraction -3/7, so they have the same value.
The option that has the same value as the others is option C: -3/7.
To determine which of the given options has the same value as the others, we need to simplify each fraction.
Let's start by simplifying option A:
A. -3/7
Since the numerator (-3) and the denominator (7) do not have any common factors other than 1, this fraction is already in its simplest form.
Next, let's simplify option B:
B. -3/-7
Dividing both the numerator (-3) and the denominator (-7) by their greatest common factor, which is 1, we get:
-3 divided by -7 is equal to 3 divided by 7.
This means that option B is equivalent to option C.
Finally, let's simplify option D:
D. 3/-7
Again, dividing both the numerator (3) and the denominator (-7) by their greatest common factor, which is 1, we get:
3 divided by -7 is equal to -3 divided by 7.
This means that option D is equivalent to option A.
Therefore, the two fractions that have the same value as the others are options A (-3/7) and D (3/-7).
