\text{Hey there!}


(-8)/(-15)*(29)/(64)


(8*29)/(15*64)


{8 * 29 = 232}\\\\\ 15* 64 = 960


\text{Both numbers goes into 8 (or the GCF is 8.)}\text{ So divide both numbers by 8.}


231/8 = 29\leftarrow \text{numerator (top number)}\\\\ 960/8=120\leftarrow\text{denominator (bottom number)}


\boxed{\boxed{\text{Answer: }\bf{(29)/(120)}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}

Answer:

29/120

Explanation:

-8/-15 · 29/64

Lets rewrite the problem

-8/64 *29/-15

We can simplify the first fraction

-1/8 * 29/-15

Multiply the numerators

-1*28 = -29

Multiply the denominators

8*-15 =-120

Put the numerator over the denominator

-29/-120

A negative over a negative is a positive

29/120
