(-5)/(8) * (2)/(3)

Multiply the top with the top and the bottom with the bottom:


((-5)*2)/(8*3)


(-10)/(24)

Then you can simplify:


(-5)/(12)

Hope this helped!

Answer:

-5/12

Explanation:

Multiply the top of both fractions and the bottom of both fractions, -5*2=-10,8*3=24

so -10/24 can be simplified to -5/12
