It would be 21/32. To find this out, you would need to first multiply (-7/8) by (-3/4) which would give you 0.65625. Then look at your answer choices and divide each one ( (/) = same as dividing) until you get 0.65625 as one of the values.

Answer:


(21)/(32)

Explanation:

Given expression,


(-(7)/(8))(-(3)/(4))


=(-7)/(8)* (-3)/(4)
(\because -(a)/(b)=(-a)/(b))


=(-7* -3)/(8* 4) ( Multiplication of fractions )


=(21)/(32)

Third option is correct.
