-1 1/6 times 7

Answer 1

To multiply \(-1 \frac{1}{6}\) by \(7\), we first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

\[ -1 \frac{1}{6} = -\left(1 \times 6 + 1\right)/6 = -\left(6 + 1\right)/6 = -\frac{7}{6} \]

Now we can multiply this fraction by \(7\):

\[ -\frac{7}{6} \times 7 = -\frac{7 \times 7}{6} = -\frac{49}{6} \]

Thus, \(-1 \frac{1}{6} \times 7 = -\frac{49}{6}\).

If you want to convert \(-\frac{49}{6}\) back to a mixed number:

\[ -\frac{49}{6} = -8 \frac{1}{6} \]

So, \(-1 \frac{1}{6} \times 7 = -\frac{49}{6}\) or \(-8 \frac{1}{6}\).
