Do you mean with a denominator that is also negative? If you do, then it would be just like dividing positive numbers, the answer would be positive.
If you divide two numbers and they have different signs, then the answer will be negative. However the task of dividing is the same no matter what the signs are.
So... If they are the same sign ---> Positive
If they are opposite signs ---> Negative

Do you have to have the same denominator to divide a fraction?
No, you do not.
If both the numerator and the denominator are negative does that make the fraction negative?
No!If numerator and denominator have the same signs the fraction is positive.If numerator and denominator have opposite signs the fraction is negative.
How do you divide a negative fraction by a whole number?
-> Keep the same numerator.-> Multiply the denominator by the whole number, and make that the new denominator.-> Keep the negative sign before the fraction.You have the answer.
If the fraction has a negative denominator?
It is the same as the negative of the fraction with the same denominator positive. eg: 2/-3 = -2/3 -4/-5 = --4/5 = 4/5 You are creating an equivalent fraction by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by -1.
How do you change a fraction to an equivlant fraction?
Multiply (or divide) the numerator and the denominator both by the same number.

How do you divide a negative denominator?
The same way as with a positive denominator. The difference is, you change the sign of the numerator.
How do you simplify an improper fraction?
Same as a proper fraction. You check whether you can divide numerator and denominator by the same number.
How do you change a fraction to an equivlant fraction?
Multiply (or divide) the numerator and the denominator both by the same number.
When the numerator of a fraction is smaller than the denominator it is a(n) fraction.?
There is no simple answer to the question.If only the numerator is negative then the fraction is a negative fraction which may be proper or improper. If the numerator and the denominator have the same sign then the fraction is positive. It is an improper fraction if they are both negative and a proper fraction if they are both positive.
When you divide a fraction to a fraction do you keep the denominator the same?

How do you make a negative improper fraction into a mixed number?
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part. The sign stays the same.
How do you make a fraction into an equivalent fraction?
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same non-zero integer. You can divide the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero integer, but the integer has to be a factor of them both.
When comparing fractions what must you do if the numerators are the same?
If the numerators are the same then a fraction with a bigger denominator is smaller than a fraction with a biiger denominator. The bigger the number you divide by, the smalller each bit is.
