Question

What is -1 2/3 times (-5 1/4)

Answer 1

Convert both numbers to improper fractions by doing ((whole number * denominator) + numerator)

Therefore we are left with

-1 2/3 to -1/3
and
-5 1/4 to -19/4

-1/3 * -19/4


Multiply numerators, and multiply denominators.


19/12

Answer 2

It would be: -1 2/3 * -5 1/4
= -5/3 * -12/4
= 60/12
= 5

So, Your Correct answer would be 5

Hope this helps!
