Oh, dude, we're getting all mathy now? Yeah, technically, in math land, two negatives in a fraction cancel each other out and become a positive. So, like, -2/-3 would be the same as 2/3. But hey, who really cares about math rules when you can just use a calculator, right?
In mathematics, multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive number. However, in the context of fractions, when you have two negative numbers in the numerator and denominator, they do not cancel out to become positive. The negative signs remain, and the fraction retains its negative value. Therefore, two negatives in a fraction do not equal a positive.
Well, honey, in math, two negatives in a fraction do indeed equal a positive. It's like when you owe someone money, and then owe them more money - suddenly you're in the green! So yes, in the world of math, two negatives make a positive when you're dividing.
If you mean negative numerator and negative denominator then the answer is Yes.
