To simplify the expression \(-24 / (6/7)\), you can multiply -24 by the reciprocal of \(6/7\).
The reciprocal of \(6/7\) is \(7/6\).
So, the expression becomes:
\[
-24 \times \frac{7}{6}
\]
Now, let's perform the multiplication:
\[
-24 \times \frac{7}{6} = \frac{-24 \times 7}{6} = \frac{-168}{6}
\]
Now, simplify \(-168/6\):
\[
-168 \div 6 = -28
\]
Thus, the value of \(-24 / (6/7)\) is \(-28\).
The reciprocal of \(6/7\) is \(7/6\).
So, the expression becomes:
\[
-24 \times \frac{7}{6}
\]
Now, let's perform the multiplication:
\[
-24 \times \frac{7}{6} = \frac{-24 \times 7}{6} = \frac{-168}{6}
\]
Now, simplify \(-168/6\):
\[
-168 \div 6 = -28
\]
Thus, the value of \(-24 / (6/7)\) is \(-28\).
