Therefore, the answer is -6/35.
To evaluate the expression 1/7 x -6/5, we need to multiply 1/7 by -6/5 and simplify the resulting fraction.
When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) and multiply the denominators (the numbers on bottom). So, multiplying 1/7 by -6/5 we get:
(1/7) x (-6/5) = (1 x -6) / (7 x 5) = -6/35
Therefore, the expression 1/7 x -6/5 is equal to -6/35.
To evaluate the expression (1/7) x (-6/5), you can multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
(1 x -6) / (7 x 5)
Simplifying the numerator gives -6, and simplifying the denominator gives 35.
Therefore, the simplified fraction is -6/35.
