Answer:
-1.375 or -1 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the answer because:
1) -7/8 + (-1/2)
2) 7/8 - (-1/2)
3) 7/8 + 1/2 = 1.375 or 1 3/8
4) 1 3/8 = -1 3/8
In order to do this, you need to know that:
negative x negative = positive
negative x positive = negative
positive x negative = negative
positive x positive = positive
Next, just multiply the signs left to right. Finally, just look at the larger number and put the sign of the larger number.
Hope this helps! :D
