multiply −2/5 by 3/10 Write the answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

(-2/5) * (3/10) = (-2 * 3) / (5 * 10)

= -6/50

Next, we simplify the fraction.

-6/50 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 2.

So, we get (-6/2) / (50/2) = -3/25

Therefore, the simplified fraction is -3/25.
