Question

Value of (–3/8) × (+8/15).

A. 11/15
B. 11/23
C. –1/5
D. –1/3

Answer 1

The correct answer is C

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the value of

`- (3)/(8) * (8)/(15)`

This is the same as:

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

We cancel out the common factors to get:

`- (1)/(1) * (1)/(1 * 5)`

We simplify to get:

`- (1)/(5)`

The correct answer is C
