\\(-\frac{70}{110}\\)

• \\(-\frac{7}{11}\\)
• \\(\frac{7}{11}\\)
• \\(\frac{7}{110}\\)
• \\(-\frac{7}{110}\\)

Explanation:

Identify the given fraction and its sign

$$ -\frac{70}{110} $$

Find the greatest common divisor of the numerator and denominator

$$ \gcd(70, 110) = 10 $$

Divide both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor

$$ -\frac{70 \div 10}{110 \div 10} = -\frac{7}{11} $$

Answer:

• (A) \(-\frac{7}{11}\) (Correct answer)
• (B) \(\frac{7}{11}\)
• (C) \(\frac{7}{110}\)
