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.
What happens to the fraction if the denominator of a negative fraction increases?
The fraction becomes less negative. It remains a negative fraction but moves nearer to 0.
If you have a fraction and both the numerator and the denominator are negative and you simplify it would the numerator and denominator stay negative?
The simplification will be positive. In other words, the numerator and the denominator will NOT stay negative.
How do you you reduce a fraction with a negative number as a numerator?
Reduce it as you would normally, negative fractions are no different to positive fractions. Also, it doesn't matter which of the numerator or denominator are negative, as long as when it is reduced the fraction is negative overall.
What values in the denominator must you be mindful of?
The denominator cannot be 0. If the denominator is a negative number, a fraction, a surd or a complex number (depends on your level), you are expected to rescale the fraction so that the denominator is a positive integer.

You can have negative exponents anywhere. When they are in the denominator, they are equivalent to positive exponents in the numerator of a fraction.
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.

What fraction represents a terminating decimal?
It is any fraction where the denominator is a multiple of non-negative integer powers of 2 and 5. In other words, a fraction with a denominator of the form 2x5y where x and y are non-negative integers.
What values in the denominator must you be mindful of?
The denominator cannot be 0. If the denominator is a negative number, a fraction, a surd or a complex number (depends on your level), you are expected to rescale the fraction so that the denominator is a positive integer.
