To solve this problem, we need to divide -7 by fourteen-thirds.
Recall that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.
The reciprocal of fourteen-thirds can be found by flipping the fraction, so it becomes three-fourteenths.
Therefore, -7 ÷ fourteen-thirds is the same as -7 * three-fourteenths.
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
The numerator is -7 * 3 = -21.
The denominator is 1 * 14 = 14.
So, -7 ÷ fourteen-thirds equals -21/14, which can be simplified to -3/2 or -1.5.
