Answer:

b)
(1)/(2) or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's see the actual product of the initial fractions


-(4)/(5) *
(3)/(5) *
-(6)/(7) *
(5)/(6) =
(12)/(35)

= 0.3429 ≈ 0.34

Now let's see the product of the fractions from options A - D

Option A

(-1 * -1 * - 1) *
(1)/(4) =
-(1)/(4) or -0.25

Option B

(-1 * -1 * 1) *
(1)/(2) =
(1)/(2) or 0.50

Option C


-(4)/(2) *
(3)/(2) *
-(2)/(5) *
(5)/(2) = 3

Option D


-(3)/(4) *
-(3)/(4) *
-(1)/(5) *
(1)/(2) =
-(9)/(160)

= -0.05625 ≈ -0.056

The initial fraction is
(12)/(35) or 0.34 & Option B is
(1)/(2) or 0.5.

As such, Option B is the answer that best estimates the actual products of the fraction in the question
