Answer 10

Yeah cross multiply was a poor choice of words, when you have two fractions you want to multiply, you multiple the numerators and denominators together, then simplify if you can

Answer 11

meaning -8/7*4/1 =32/7

Answer 12

yes that would be correct but you had the original equation as -8/7 *1/4= -8/28 = -2/7

Answer 13

So I don't need to change the 1/4 to 4/1 is tht correct

Answer 14

Not when you are simply multiply to fractions together, it would be the numerator times the numerator, and the denominator times the denominator.
