Then you get:

You multiply:


(-3\cdot16)/(8\cdot15)=-(48)/(120)

You can simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number:

You can strat dividing both numbers into 2 as they are even numbers:


-(48)/(120)=-(24)/(60)=-(12)/(30)=-(6)/(15)

Then you can divide the -6 and 15 into 3


-(6)/(15)=-(2)/(5)Then the final answer is:
-(2)/(5)
