Answer 2

Given,

Fractions, $\[\frac{{ - 5}}{7}\]$ and $\[\frac{{15}}{{14}}\]$

Solution,

Calculate the reciprocal of $\[\left( {\frac{{15}}{{14}}} \right)\]$.

$\[ = \left( {\frac{1}{{\frac{{15}}{{14}}}}} \right)\]$

$\[ = \left( {\frac{{14}}{{15}}} \right)\]$

Multiplication of both fractions,

$\[ = \left( {\frac{{ - 5}}{7}} \right) \times \left( {\frac{{14}}{{15}}} \right)\]$

$\[ = \left( {\frac{{ - 1}}{1}} \right) \times \left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right)\]$

$\[ = \left( {\frac{{ - 1}}{1}} \right) \times \left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right)\]$

Hence the multiplication is $\[\left( { - \frac{2}{3}} \right)\]$
