To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
( -1/4 + 7/8 ) ÷ ( -1, 1/4) = ( - 1/4 + 7/8 ) * ( -4/9 )
First, find a common denominator for -1/4 and 7/8.
LCD is 8, so:-1/4 = -2/87/8 = 7/8
Now, multiply the fractions:
(-2/8 + 7/8) (-4/9) = (5/8) (-4/9) = -20/72 = -5/18
So, ( -1/4 + 7/8 ) ÷ ( -1, 1/4) = -5/18.
