Answer:


(-10)/(12) ,(-5)/(6)

Explanation:

Start with:


(-2)/(3) ×
(5)/(4)

Multiply your numerators.


(-2)(5)=-10

Now, multiply your denominators.


(3)(4)=12

Let's transfer those numbers into a fraction.


(-10)/(12)

You may need to simplify.

Divide by the greatest common factor. In this case, that would be
2.


-10 ÷
2=-5


12 ÷
2=6

Put those numbers back into the fraction.


(-5)/(6)
