Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

simplify 7/6 x -3/28

To find:

simplification and reciprocal

Solution:

first, we simplify the expression using the BODMAS rule

$\frac{7}{-6}\ X \frac{-3}{28}$

= $\frac{-21}{168}$.......................................(multiplying the terms of the fraction)

= $-0.125$

Now, this expression can also be solved as

$\frac{7}{-6}\ X \frac{-3}{28}$

Dividing the fractions as the first step

= $1.16666667 \ X (-0.1071)$

= $- 0.125$

∴ 7/6 × -3/28 = -0.125

We find the reciprocal of this term

The reciprocal of the term -0.125 will be

-1/0.125

= $\frac{-1}{0.125}$
