Question

What is -8/15 of 21/12

Answer 1

-14/15

Explanation:

So first you need to get rid of the negative sign. Don't worry you will add it back later!

So, you will do

-8/15×21/12

Once you cross cancel, you will have

-2/5x7/3

That would be equivalent to

-14/15

That's your answer!

Hope this helped :)
