Question

Multiply (-1 13/14) x (1 5/9) what is the product? enter your answer in the box​

Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

to find the answer first turn both numbers into improper fractions

-1 13/14 becomes -27/14

1 5/9 becomes 14/9

now multiply them

`(-27)/(14) * (14)/(9)`

you can cancel out the 14s

`(-27)/(1) * (1)/(9)`

now divide 9 to the top of the first fraction and to the bottom of the second one

`(-3)/(1) * (1)/(1)`

now multiply

-3/1 is your answer

that is basically -3
