6/7 : (-14) =

6/7 : (-14/1) =

6/7 × (-1/14) =

(-6/98) = (-3/49)

A bit of explanation :

Answer:


=-(3)/(49)

Explanation:


(6)/(7) / -14\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad (a)/(-b)=-(a)/(b)\\\\=-((6)/(7))/(14)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\\\quad ((b)/(c))/(a)=(b)/(c\:*\:a)\\\\((6)/(7))/(14)=(6)/(7*\:14)\\\\=-(6)/(98)\\\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:2\\\\=-(3)/(49)
