negative/positive=negative
we want 2 different signs on top and bottom aka the fraction is negative

cross out -4/-20



ok so a property of equal fractions are
if a/b=c/d, then (a*d)/(b*c)=1
ie
if 1/2=4/8, then 1/2 times 8/4=8/8=1 so

-1/5 times -25/5=25/25=1
they are equal

-1/5 times 10/-2=-10/-10=1
they are equal

-1/5  times 25/-10=-25/-50=1/2,
noe equall


5/-25 and -2/10 are equal
