To solve the expression -7/8 times -1 and 3/7, you need to multiply the two fractions together.
(-7/8) * (-1 and 3/7)
First, simplify the mixed number -1 and 3/7 into an improper fraction:
-1 and 3/7 = -(1 + 3/7) = -(7/7 + 3/7) = -10/7
Now, multiply the two fractions:
(-7/8) * (-10/7)
When multiplying fractions, you can multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(-7 * -10) / (8 * 7) = 70 / 56
This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor:
70/56 = (70/14) / (56/14) = 5/4
So, -7/8 times -1 and 3/7 equals 5/4.
