Answer 2

The solution of −3/8÷−6/7 is
`(7)/(16)`

Solution:

The given equation is
`-(3)/(8) /-(6)/(7)`

In the above equation we can see that more than one mathematical operator has been used.

To figure out which one to solve first we need to follow the BODMAS rule.

BODMAS mean brackets, of, division, multiplication, addition and subtraction.

To make the calculation simply we will invert one of the fractions. This will make the division operator into a multiplication one.

`-(3)/(8) *-(7)/(6)`

This equation can be simplified as 6 is divisible by 3. Also the negative signs cancel out each other.

`(1)/(8) * (7)/(2)`

On multiplying the remaining terms we get;

`(7)/(16)`

Hence the solution of −3/8÷−6/7 is
`(7)/(16)`
