Answer:

1/28

Explanation:

Alrighty, so you start off with 2/8 x 1/7, you just have to multiply across (2x1 (numerator) and 8x7 (denominator) and you will get 2/56.

Now, you have to simplify this fraction. The number 2 goes into both the numerator and denominator, so, divide 2 by 2 (1) and 56 divided by 2 (28).

Your answer should be 1/28.

Hope this helps! ^-^
