Answer:
Explanation:
the product between the mixed numbers is equal to 12 and 1 over 60, which is the first option.
How to find the product between two mixed numbers?
A mixed number is a number that is written as the addition of a whole number and an improper fraction.
Remember that the mixed number "negative two and one third" is written as:
-2 ¹/₃ = (-2 - 1/3)
Here we want to solve the product:
(-2 - 1/3)*(-5 - 15/100)
Notice that all the signs are negative, so the outcome will be positive:
(-2 - 1/3)*(-5 - 15/100) = 2*5 + (1/3)*5 + 2*(15/100) + (1/3)*(15/100)
= 10 + 5/3 + 30/100 + 5/100
= 10 + 5/3 + 3/10 + 1/20
= 10 + 3/3 + 2/3 + 6/20 + 1/20
= 11 + 2/3 + 7/20 = 11 + 40/60 + 21/60
= 11 + 61/60 = 11 + 60/60 + 1/60 = 12 + 1/60
Then the product between the mixed numbers is equal to 12 and 1 over 60, which is the first option.
