it would be -32/21 because if you multiple 4/7 -8/3 it would be -32/21

So you want to flip 3/-8. So your equation should be 4/7 • -8/3. Since when dividing a fraction you have to change the second fraction as well as the divide sign to multiply. “Keep (4/7) change (divide sign) flip (second fraction” now all you have to do is multiply! Hopefully that helped.
