Answer:
-19/4 or -4 3/4
Explanation:
1 1/4 * - 3 4/5
You would first turn both fractions into "improper" fractions
1 1/4 -> 5/4
-3 4/5 -> -19/5
5/4 * - 19/5
A negative number multiplied by a positive number is a negative number.
You could either cross cancel the 5's to get: -19/4 or -4 3/4
Or you could do this:
In multiplication, you multiply straight across ->
5 * -19 -95
--------- Which is equal to: ------
4 * 5 20
-95/20 reduced is -19/4, or -4 3/4
