Answer

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

-66/7 is the answer.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Step-by-step explanation:

The number by which the number should be multiplied in order to get 1, is known as the reciprocal of the number. Reciprocal of a is 1/a, we don't change the sign. Or we can find Reciprocal of a number by simple algebra. a × x = 1, where a and x are reciprocal of each others. ( Other name for reciprocal is multiplicative inverse )

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf Reciprocal~of~\dfrac{-7}{11}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf\implies\dfrac{-7}{11} \times x = 1$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf\implies x = 1 \times \dfrac{11}{-7}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf\implies x = -\dfrac{11}{7}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We need to find 6 times reciprocal of -7/11

Reciprocal of -7/11 is -11/7

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf\implies6 \times -\dfrac{11}{7}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf\implies -\dfrac{(6 \times 11)}{7}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\sf\implies -\dfrac{66}{7}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

-66/7 is the answer.
