Multiply -1 1/6 by 7. Write the answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

To multiply -1 1/6 by 7, we first need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

-1 1/6 = -7/6

Now, we can multiply the improper fraction by 7:

(-7/6) * 7 = -49/6

To write the answer as a mixed number, we need to divide the numerator (-49) by the denominator (6) and find the remainder.

-49 ÷ 6 = -8 remainder 1

The mixed number is the quotient (whole number) plus the remainder over the denominator:

Mixed number: -8 1/6
