Question

Help what’s the answer to this
(⁵⁄₁₂)(-⁸⁄₁₅)=

Answer 1

`-(2)/(9)`

Explanation:

multiplying a positive and a negative equals a negative:

`-(5)/(12)`×
`(8)/(15)`

Reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor, which is 5 in this case:

`-(1)/(12)`×
`(8)/(3)`

Reduce again, the greatest common factor is now 4:

`-(1)/(3)`×
`(2)/(3)`

Multiply the fractions:

`-(1)/(3)`×
`(2)/(3)=`
`-(2)/(9)`
