Answer 1

`\boxed{\sf - (1)/(2)}`

Explanation:

To find the product of:

`\sf -(4)/(5) \cdot (10)/(16)`

Solution:

In order to find the product , we can multiply the numerators and the denominators:

`\sf -(4)/(5) \cdot (10)/(16) = (-4 \cdot 10)/(5 \cdot 16)`

`\sf = - (40)/(80)`

We can simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 40:

`\sf - (40)/(80) = - (40 / 40)/(80 / 40)`

`\sf - (1)/(2)`

Therefore, the product is:

`\boxed{\sf - (1)/(2)}`
