Question

Multiplying rational numbers, given -5 and 1/3 times -4 and 15/100, determine the product.

1) -22 and 2/15
2) 20 and 3/15
3) 22 and 2/15
4) 20 and 1/20

Answer 1

The product of -5/1 and 1/3/1 is -1 and 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply rational numbers, we need to multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.

In this case, -5 and 1/3 can be written as -5/1 and 1/3 can be written as 1/3/1.

So, (-5/1) * (1/3/1) = (-5/1) * (1/3) = -5/3 = -1 and 2/3.

Therefore, the product of -5 and 1/3 times -4 and 15/100 is -1 and 2/3.
