Answer:

-9/14

Step-by-step explanation:

This is my simplest-

Do the keep-change-flip method for this problem (and also any problem involving this)

KEEP -3/8

CHANGE the division sign to multiplication

FLIP the last fraction. 7/12 to 12/7

Now solve the problem by multiplying the fractions

-3/8 × 12/7 =

-3 × 12 = -36

8 × 7 = 56

-36 / 56 =

Simplify it by dividing the numerator (up of the line) and denominator (below the line) to get -9/14
