The multiplicative inverse (or reciprocal) of a number is the value that, when multiplied by the original number, results in 1.

To find the multiplicative inverse of \(-\frac{7}{8}\):

\[
\text{Multiplicative inverse of } -\frac{7}{8} = -\frac{8}{7}
\]

Thus, the multiplicative inverse of \(-\frac{7}{8}\) is \(-\frac{8}{7}\).
