Question

Help -2 x 8/3 it's multiplecation
​

Answer 1

-2 x 8/3 = -16/3

Explanation:

When multiplying fractions, you multiply the numerators (numbers above the fraction line) and the denominators (numbers below the fraction line) with each other. If one of the numbers is not visibly a fraction, remember that all numbers are actually fractions - you must simply write in the denominator of 1. In this case, you'd write
`-(2)/(1) * (8)/(3)`, which would then give you the result of
`-(16)/(3)` (-2 x 8 = -16, 1 x 3 = 3).

Hope this helped!

bonus fun fact: the fraction line is called the vinculum.
