To answer this question, all you have to do is turn the second fraction over to its reciprocal. Like this…
(-4/8) x ( 7/2)
Notice how the sign changes from division to multiplication. Once you do the reciprocal of the second fraction your problem with become a multiplication problem. Multiplying these two together you get -28/16. It is negative because your first fraction is negative and the second is positive.
Simplified, your fraction will be 1 and 12/16. Further simplified, your answer will be 1 and 3/4.

Answer:
-7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
When you are dividing two fractions (or anything in general), you have to take the reciprocal of the number and then you can multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second number. This will give you the answer. Hence,
(-4/8) ÷ 2/7
= -4/8 x 7/2
= (-4*7)/(8*2)
= -28/16
Simplifying it:
Dividing the numerator and denominator by 4:
-7/4
Hence, the answer is -7/4
