Answer:


( - 2)/(25) * 5

first you multiply 2 by 5. Then you get 10 over 25. Then you simplify it. What is the common factor of both 10 and 25? Is it 2? No 2 is a factor of 10 but not 25. It's 5. After you get the common factor you divide both numbers by it. So 10/5 would be 2. 25 divide by 5 would be 5. And the negative sign remains
