Evaluate (|-1|)/-1

$\frac{| - 1 |}{- 1}$

Step 1

Move the negative one from the denominator of $\frac{| - 1 |}{- 1}$ .

$- 1 \cdot | - 1 |$

Step 2

Rewrite $- 1 \cdot | - 1 |$ as $- | - 1 |$ .

$- | - 1 |$

Step 3

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $- 1$ and $0$ is $1$ .

$- 1 \cdot 1$

Step 4

Multiply $- 1$ by $1$ .

$- 1$
