Question

How do you multiply `-\frac { 4} { 7} ( - \frac { 1} { 8} )`?

Answer 1

`1/14`

Explanation:

We are multiplying these values together. So as the signs are the same then the answer is positive.

Having got that out of the way lets look at just the numbers

`4/7xx1/8 color(white)("ddd") =color(white)("ddd")(cancel(4)^1xx1)/(7xxcancel(8)^2)color(white)("ddd")=color(white)("ddd")1/14`
