Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Answer 1

The answer is 3/5. Don't try to solve it in mixed fraction you will get confused

Answer 2

First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

-4 + 5 1/5 = -4 + 26/5 = -20/5 + 26/5 = 6/5

Next, let's simplify the expression inside the second set of parentheses:

-3 + 2 1/2 = -3 + 5/2 = -6/2 + 5/2 = -1/2

Now we can substitute these values back into the original expression and simplify:

(6/5) × (-1/2) = -6/10 = -3/5

Therefore, (-4+5 1/5) × (-3+2 1/2) simplifies to -3/5 as a fraction or -0 3/5 as a mixed number
