To divide fractions, you need to multiply the dividend (numerator of the first fraction) by the reciprocal of the divisor (denominator of the second fraction).
The reciprocal of (-5/12) is (-12/5).
So, the division 7/8 ÷ (-5/12) becomes (7/8) * (-12/5).
Multiplying the numerators (7 * (-12)) and the denominators (8 * 5) we get:
= (-84) / 40
This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4.
= (-21) / 10
Therefore, 7/8 ÷ (-5/12) equals to (-21) / 10.
Divide.
