Question

-3.9 x 5 5/9 Im having trouble on this question plz help

Answer 1

Its simple!

First, you turn -3.9 into a fraction

-3.9=

`- 3 (9)/(10)`

Now u solve

`- 3 (9)/(10) * 5 (5)/(9) =`

(1) Convert mixed numbers into fractions (im sure you know how to do this)

`- (39 )/(10) * (50 )/(9) =`

(2) Multiply across on both the denominator and numerator (bottom and top rows)

`- (39)/(10) * (50)/(9) = - (1950)/(90)`

(Remember, negative ×/÷ positive is always negative)

(3) Make ur answer into an even fraction

`- (1950)/(90) = - (65)/(3) \\ = - 21 (2)/(3)`

I hope this helped! Srry I'm not that good in english
