Explaining Negative Fractions in Stock Adjustments

As an inventory manager, you are training a new associate on how to process stock adjustments. Some adjustment ratios are recorded as fractions involving negative numbers, such as 153\frac{15}{-3}, 153\frac{-15}{3}, and 153\frac{-15}{-3}. To help the associate understand the process, state the mathematical rules for determining the sign of the quotient when dividing integers, and write the simplified integer value for each of the three fractions.
