The answer is D because -2 2/5 turn that to an improper fraction -2 x 5 = -10 + 2 = -8 so the number is -8/5. Turn -356 into a fraction -356/1. Now multiply -8/5 x -356/1 -8 x -356 = 2,848 and then 1 x 5 = 5. Its D because you can't do negative x negative = negative. Its negative x negative = positive. A is wrong and the denominator stays the same, so the answer is D.

Answer: D) 9 1/5 = 5
