Lets get started!

In this case, it's quite simple.

Multiply both numerators by each other

The number are the top numbers of the fraction

-5 x 2 = -10

Now we multiply the denominators, the bottom numbers

8 x 3 = 24

Your final answer is -10/24

If you want to simplify (meaning to make smaller or easier to look at), divide the top and bottom numbers by 2

Your simplified answer is -5/12

Hope I helped :)
