Answer 2

Solution ↓

Let the number to be multiplied be x, then

$\frac{-7}{85}$ × x = $\frac{1}{17}$

x = $\frac{1}{17} ÷ \frac{-7}{85}$

x = $\frac{1}{17} \times \frac{-85}{7}$

x = $\frac{-5}{7}$

Therefore, we have found that $\frac{-7}{85}$ should be multiplied by $\frac{-5}{7}$ to get $\frac{1}{17}$.
