Question

What is (-4/9)*(5/8)?

Answer 1

-0.27777777777

or

-5/18

Explanation:

It's

-4 x 5

9 8

(sorry.. don't know how to write fractions...)

You multiply the numerators by numerators (the top numbers) and denominators by denominators (bottom numbers)

-4 x 5 equals -20.

9 x 8 equals 72

That would be -20/72, which simplifies to -5/18.

*top times top, bottom times bottom
