To multiply two fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator. In this case, we have:
(-2/5) * (3/10)
= (-2 * 3) / (5 * 10)
= -6 / 50
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
-6 / 50 = (-6 ÷ 2) / (50 ÷ 2)
= -3 / 25
Therefore, the product of -2/5 and 3/10 is -3/25 in simplest form.
(-2/5) * (3/10)
