Answer 2

Given: -3/8 and -7/5

To find: The reciprocal of -3/8 multiplied by -7/5.

Solution:

In order to find the reciprocal of a fraction, the numbers at the numerator and denominator are swapped with one another. So the reciprocal of -3/8 is -8/3.

When two negative numbers are multiplied by one another, the product of them is positive. So the two negative fractions would give a positive product. Also, when two fractions are multiplied, first the numerators are multiplied and then the denominators, separately.

$-\frac{8}{3} * -\frac{7}{5} = \frac{56}{15}$

Therefore, the reciprocal of -3/8 multiplied by -7/5 is 56/15.
