Question

3 3/5 x (-8 1/3) please answer this question

Answer 1

To multiply mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions, multiply the fractions, and simplify the result.

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply mixed numbers, you can convert them to improper fractions and then multiply. Let's convert 3 3/5 and -8 1/3 to improper fractions:

3 3/5 = (5 * 3 + 3) / 5 = 18/5

-8 1/3 = (3 * -8 - 1) / 3 = -25/3

Now, we can multiply the two fractions:

18/5 * -25/3 = (-30 * -25) / (5 * 3) = 750/15

Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor:

750/15 = 50/1 = 50

So, 3 3/5 x -8 1/3 is equal to -50.

Answer 2

`3(3)/(5)*(-8(1)/(3))=\\ \\(3*5+3)/(5)*(-(8*3+1)/(3))\\`

`(18)/(5)*(-(25)/(3)) \\\\(6)/(1)*(-(5)/(1))\\ \\-30`
