Multiply-1 and 1/6 / 7 write the answer as a mixed number

1 answer

To multiply -1 by \( \frac{1}{6} \div 7 \), we first need to handle the division.

  1. Calculate \( \frac{1}{6} \div 7 \): \[ \frac{1}{6} \div 7 = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{1 \times 1}{6 \times 7} = \frac{1}{42} \]

  2. Now multiply -1 by \( \frac{1}{42} \): \[ -1 \times \frac{1}{42} = -\frac{1}{42} \]

The final answer is \(-\frac{1}{42}\).

As a mixed number, this is simply \(-\frac{1}{42}\) since it is already a proper fraction and cannot be written as a mixed number. If mixed numbers are required, it can be represented as \( -0 \frac{1}{42} \), but it's typically just expressed as \(-\frac{1}{42}\).
