Question

What is (-2) (3 4/7)

Answer 1

The correct answer is $-7\frac{1}{7}$.

In order to find this, we need to multiply the -2 by both parts of the second term and then simplify.

-2* 3 = -6

-2 * $\frac{4}{7} = \frac{-8}{7} or -1\frac{1}{7}$

Now we need to combine the two

-6 + $-1\frac{1}{7} = -7\frac{1}{7}$
