Answer:

-1/14

Step-by-step explanation:

2/7 × -1/4

Multiply the numerators (top numbers) and the denominators (bottom numbers).

2 × -1 = -2

7 × 4 = 28

The reason the resulting 2 in the numerator is negative is because multiplying a negative number and a positive number results in a negative product.

The resulting fraction is -2/28.

This can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, resulting in -1/14.
