Answer 1

-13/8

Explanation:

1) Multiply -2 times the denominator (9) and add it to the numerator (5)

-13/9 x 1 1/8

2) Multiply 1 times the denominator (8) and add it to the numerator (1) like before

-13/9 x 9/8

3) Multiply the two fractions (but simplify the nines first!)

-13/1 x 1/8 = -13/8

-2 5/9 = (-2 * 9 - 5)/9 = -23/9

1 1/8 = 9/8

Product = -23/8 or

Product = -2.875 or

Product = -2 7/8
