Answer:


\displaystyle (5)/(6)\cdot (-8)/(15)=-(4)/(9)

Explanation:

Fraction Multiplying

The product of two fractions can be obtained by multiplying their numerators and denominators separately. Then, simplify and show the result.

We are given the product:


\displaystyle (5)/(6)\cdot (-8)/(15)

Multiply as directed:


\displaystyle (5)/(6)\cdot (-8)/(15)=(5*(-8))/(6*15)=-(40)/(90)

Simplifying by 10:


\displaystyle -(40)/(90)=-(4)/(9)

Thus:


\boxed{\displaystyle (5)/(6)\cdot (-8)/(15)=-(4)/(9)}
