a) -12 b)12 c)-2/3 d) 2/3​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-7/8*2/21=-1/12.........

Answer 2

The product of the numbers $-\frac{7}{8}$  and  $\frac{2}{21}$ is $-\frac{1}{12}$.

Given:

The numbers $-\frac{7}{8}$ and  $\frac{2}{21}$.

To Find:

We have to find the product of the numbers $-\frac{7}{8}$ and  $\frac{2}{21}$.

Solution:

This is a problem for fraction products.

Let us tackle the problem.

We can easily solve this problem as follows,

The given fractions are  $-\frac{7}{8}$ and  $\frac{2}{21}$.

We know that,

The product of two fractions, $\frac{a}{b}$ and $\frac{c}{d}$ is $\frac{a*c}{b*d}$.

Therefore,

According to the question,

The product of two fractions,  $-\frac{7}{8}$ and  $\frac{2}{21}$ is

=$-(\frac{7*2}{8*21})$

=$-\frac{1}{12}$

Hence, the product of the numbers $-\frac{7}{8}$  and  $\frac{2}{21}$ is $-\frac{1}{12}$.
