Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

(-9)/(28)

Explanation:

Just multiply the numerators (top numbers) (-6)(3) = -18

Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) (7)(8) = 56

So, we have (-18)/(56). Simplify by dividing by Greatest Common Factor, or GCF. The GCF is 2. So, the final answer is (-9)/(28)
