Question

a fraction represents division. rewrite the following fractions as division expressions. \\(\frac{12}{2}\\) \\(\frac{-12}{2}\\) \\(12\div2\\) \\(-12\div2\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Match positive fraction

A fraction $\frac{a}{b}$ equals $a\div b$. For $\frac{12}{2}$, this is $12\div2$.

Step2: Match negative fraction

For $\frac{-12}{2}$, this follows the same rule: $\frac{-12}{2} = -12\div2$.

Answer:

$\frac{12}{2}$ pairs with $12\div2$
$\frac{-12}{2}$ pairs with $-12\div2$
