Alivia Stephens · Answer 1

The correct answer would be D.

This is because both equations have the 4 divided by the 2 and each equation has a negative number, so the answer would have the same negative answer.

-4 / 2 = - 2

4 / - 2 = - 2

A) (-4) : 2 = -2 : 4

-2 ≠ - 1/2 ... FALSE

B) (-4) : 2 = 2 : 4

-2 ≠ 1/2 ... FALSE

C) (-4) : 2 = 4 : 2

-2 ≠ 2 ... FALSE

D) (-4) : 2 = 4 : - 2
