Question

What is the result when -7/8 is multiplied by -3.5?

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, I will convert the decimal as a fraction or decimal, whichever one you prefer. I did fraction. So, -3.5 is the same as -7/2.

Second, for fraction multiplication, you will multiply the numerator and then the denominator.

`(-7 times -7)/(8 times 2) = (49)/(10)`

Third, we will convert the improper fraction to a mixed fraction by using long division 49 divided by 16 = 3R1.

3 WILL BE YOUR WHOLE NUMBER. 1 IS YOUR NUMERATOR AND 16 IS YOUR DENOMINATOR.

The Answer is 3
`(1)/(16)`. Letter D
