No.
5/7 * 35/1 = 135/7 = 25
5/7(-35) is not = 0
You have no unknown to solve.
I forgot the minus sign.
5/7(-35) = -25
To determine if multiplying 5/7 by -35 equals 0 or not, we need to perform the multiplication.
To multiply a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the numerator (the top number) by the whole number and keep the denominator (the bottom number) the same.
So, multiplying 5/7 by -35 can be written as:
(5/7) * (-35)
We can simplify this calculation by multiplying the numerator and then simplify the result.
(-35 * 5) / 7
Now we multiply the numerator -35 by 5:
(-175) / 7
Dividing -175 by 7 we get:
-25
Therefore, (5/7) * (-35) is equal to -25, not 0.
