Question

Find the product. Simplify your answer 5/-7x times -9y/8

Answer 1

`(45y)/(56x)`

Explanation:

`(5)/(-7x) times (-9y)/(8)`

When we multiply two fractions we multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator

5 times -9y is -45y

Then -7x times 8 is -56x

So the fraction becomes
`(-45y)/(-56x)`

we have negative at the top and bottom so it becomes positive

`(45y)/(56x)`

We cannot simplify further
