Answer:

10 14/15

Explanation:

First, you should convert both fractions into improper fractions:

-8/3;41/10

After that, all you do it multiply across.

8 41 328

_ x __ = ____

3 10 30

Now, change it back to a mixed fraction:

Divide 328 by 30 to get the whole number first:

10.9333 (ignore the decimals)

Multiply 30 by 10 (300)

Subtract 300 from 328 (28)

You're left with 10 28/30

Now, you can simplify (divide the fraction by 2), and get 10 14/15

Hope this helped!
