What are the three ways to represent a ratio? ?

You can write it as a fraction . . . . . 5/4

You can write it as a decimal . . . . .  1.25

Or you can write it as a ratio . . . . .  5 : 4

Just copying this over just in case others with similar questions turn this up in search results rather than the other, haha!
When you multiply or divide a negative by another negative, you get a positive. When it is a negative and a positive, it remains negative.
Assuming your question simplified into a equation (or number form? Been a while, haha!) is 32÷-2÷(-16÷4), it would end as a positive. Because you first divide the positive 32 by a negative 2, you get a negative. Because -16÷4 is in parenthesis, it is done because following the rest of the equation (P.E.M.D.A.S.!), it would be 32÷-2÷-4. Going from left to right, as you should, it results in a negative being divided by another negative, so you get a positive. 32÷-2÷(-16÷4) = 32÷-2÷-4 = -16÷-4 = 2!
