    Hello,

    For fractions with negative signs, if the negative sign is before the fraction, lined up with the horizontal  fraction line, is it correct to put dots 3-6 in the cell before the opening fraction indicator?

    If the numerator (or denominator) has a negative sign in front of it, do dots 3-6 go after the opening fraction indicator (or after the fraction line)?

    I'm having trouble finding examples that match what I'm trying to transcribe. Please see attachment, which has the print and simbraille how I think it should be.

    Thank you!

    Greta,

    Thank you for the question; it is a common point of perplexity.

    You've done it so right!

    The only note I have is: In line one of your simbraille, please check the construction of your Nemeth Code terminator.

    You've placed the minus symbols beautifully in this example material; you've accurately reflected print (and its intentional confusion/obfuscation).

    Great, thank you, Kyle!

     

    And oops about the Nemeth Code terminator! I'll be sure to fix that.
