#1/14#

Explanation:

We are multiplying these values together. So as the signs are the same then the answer is positive.

Having got that out of the way lets look at just the numbers

#4/7xx1/8 color(white)("ddd") =color(white)("ddd")(cancel(4)^1xx1)/(7xxcancel(8)^2)color(white)("ddd")=color(white)("ddd")1/14#
