(-2/3)*(5/4)
Note - multiplied by + = -.
2 into 4 is 2
(-2/3)*(5/4) = -(5)/(3*2) = -5/6
Product of -2 2/5 and -3 5/6
- 2 2/5 = - (2*5 + 2)/5 = - (10 + 2)/5 = -12/5 changed to improper fraction
- 3 5/6 = - (3*6 + 5)/6 = - (18 + 5)/6 = -23/6 changed to improper fraction
= (-12/5) * (-23/6) 6 into 12 is 2, - * - is +
= + (2*23)/5
= 46/5 5 into 46 is 9 remainder 1
= 9 1/5
