Yes, -3/-6 is the same as -3/6. However, the first is an improper formatting for fractions. It's most commonly taught in early fractional and negative fractional education (such as addition) to assist students in remembering both numbers are negative. It should be read as "Negative three over six".

When adding a plus number with - number what do you get?
When you add a positive number and a negative number, it is the same as subtracting the negative number from the positive number. For example:4 + (-5) is the same as 4 - 5 (which is -1).One more example:(-10) + 15 is the same as 15 + (-10) (because it doesn't matter what order you add numbers), which is the same as 15 - 10. (which is 5).A bit more:That depends on the value of the positive (plus) and the negative (-) numbers. For example, if you add a positive 5 with a negative 3 (-3), the answer will be a positive 2. But if you reverse it and add a negative 5 (-5) with a positive 3 (+3), the answer will be a -2.
