What is the product of  −2  1/4

 and  −4  1/2  ?

Enter your answer as a mixed number, in simplified form, in the box.

Answer 1

11/2 * -11/4 = (11*-11) / 2*4 = -121 / 8

= -15 1/8 answer

-2 1/4 * -4 1/2
= -9/4 * -9/2
= 81/8
= 10 1/8 answer

Answer 2

A: What is the product of 1 1/2 and −1 1/4?

`1(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)`

`-1(1)/(4)=(-5)/(4)`

Product will be :
`(3)/(2) *(-5)/(4)`

=
`(-15)/(8)` or
`-1(7)/(8)`

B: What is the product of −2 1/4 and −4 1/2?

`-2(1)/(4)=(-9)/(4)`

`-4(1)/(2)=(-9)/(2)`

Product will be :
`(-9)/(4) *(-9)/(2)`

=
`(81)/(8)` or
`10(1)/(8)`
