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

Answer 1

To multiply −1 and 1/6 by 7, we first need to find the product of each individual term.

-1 * 7 = -7
1/6 * 7 = 7/6

Next, we add the products together.

-7 + 7/6 = -7/1 + 7/6

To add fractions, we need to have a common denominator. The lowest common denominator for 1 and 6 is 6.

-7/1 + 7/6 = -42/6 + 7/6

Now, we can combine the fractions.

-42/6 + 7/6 = (-42 + 7)/6 = -35/6

The answer is -35/6. To write this as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (-35) by the denominator (6).

-35 ÷ 6 = -5 remainder 5

So the answer as a mixed number is -5 5/6.
