Answer:

-2 3/8

Explanation:

-19/20 * 5/2 =

Multiply the numerators

-19*5 = -95

Multiply the denominators

20*2 = 40

-95/40

Both numerator and denominator can be divided by 5

95/5 =19

40/5 =8

=-19/8

If we want to change the improper fraction to a mixed number

8 goes into 19 2 times with 3 left over (2*8 = 16 19-16 = 3)

-2 3/8
