Question 516766: Hello,
My son is in 7th grade pre-algebra. We are trying to find what "negative two-thirds times two equals". He then must label a graph with this point. Normaly we would turn this fraction into a decimal. 2 divided by 3 equals ? Then times 2. But I do not understand the negative and the answer we're getting will not work on the graph. I would really appreciate your help if I've given you enough information. Thank you, Andy
