Question

Find the product of -2/3 and -7/8

Answer 1

`(7)/(12)`

Explanation:

In order to find the answer to this question is to remember a negative times a negative is a positive, and when you multiply fractions you multiply the numerator by the second numerator the same goes with the two denominators.

`-(2)/(3) *-(7)/(8)`

`-2*-7=14`

`-3*-8=24`

`=(14)/(24)`

Simplify the fraction:

`14/2=7`

`24/2=12`

`=(7)/(12)`

Hope this helps.
