[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

When you divide -7/8 by -1/5, you need to multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor. Therefore,

-7/8 ÷ -1/5 = -7/8 * -5/1 = (7*5)/(8*1) = 35/8.

Thus, the quotient is 35/8.

To divide fractions, we need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

The reciprocal of -1/5 is -5/1.

So, we can rewrite the expression as (-7/8) * (-5/1).

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

(-7/8) * (-5/1) = (-7 * -5) / (8 * 1) = 35/8.

Therefore, the quotient of -7/8 divided by -1/5 is 35/8.

To find the quotient when you divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction (dividend) by the reciprocal of the second fraction (divisor).

So, to find the quotient when you divide -7/8 by -1/5, you need to multiply -7/8 by the reciprocal of -1/5.

The reciprocal of a fraction can be found by flipping the numerator and denominator. In this case, the reciprocal of -1/5 would be -5/1 or simply -5.

Therefore, you multiply -7/8 by -5:

(-7/8) * (-5/1)

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators to get the numerator of the product, and multiply the denominators to get the denominator of the product:

(-7 * -5) / (8 * 1)

Multiplying -7 and -5 gives you 35, and multiplying 8 and 1 gives you 8:

35/8

So, the quotient when you divide -7/8 by -1/5 is 35/8.
