Question

Which value is the product of (-14/19)(-1 5/14) in simplified form?

Answer 1

`\left(-(14)/(19)\right)\left(-1(5)/(14)\right)\\\\\text{the product of two negative numbers is positive}\\\\\text{convert the mixed number to the improper fraction}\\\\\left((14)/(19)\right)\left((14+5)/(14)\right)=(14\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^1)/(19\!\!\!\!\!\diagup_1)\cdot(19\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^1)/(14\!\!\!\!\!\diagup_1)=1`

Answer 2

-1 5/14 = - (14*1 +5) /14 = -19/14

(-14/19) * (-19/14)
