Answer:
5/18
Explanation:
Negative times negative equals positive, so the product is positive.
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together. Multiply the denominators together.
Then, reduce the fraction if necessary.
(-4/9)(-5/8) = (4 × 5)(9 × 8) = 20/72
Both 20 and 78 are divisible by 2.
20/72 = 10/36
Bothe 10 and 36 are divisible by 2.
20/72 = 10/36 = 5/18
Here is the fully solved problem in one line:
(-4/9)(-5/8) = (4 × 5)(9 × 8) = 20/72 = 10/36 = 5/18
