Answer: C. -1 2/5

Explanation:

Given expression

(-3.5) (2/5)

Convert decimal into fraction

=(-35/10) (2/5)

=[(-35 ÷ 5) / (10 ÷ 5)] (2/5)

=(-7/2) (2/5)

Simplify by multiplication

=(-7 × 2) / (2 × 5)

Cancel out 2 on both numerator and denominator

=-7/5

Convert improper fraction to mixed fraction

=
\boxed{-1(2)/(5) }

Hope this helps!! :)
