Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Took the test ;)

Answer 2

12/35

Explanation:

Given the expression;

-4/5(3/5)(-6/7)(5/6)

First multiply the first two brackets

-4/5×3/5

= -12/25

Multiply the last expression in its lowest term

= -6/7×5/6

= -30/42

= -15/21

= -5/7

Multiply the resulting expressions together

= -12/25×-5/7

= -12/5×-1/7

= 12/35

Hence the beat estimate for the actual product is 12/35
