Use properties of operations and rules for multiplying signed numbers to multiply -2/5 by 3/1. Write an answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and then the denominators together.

In this case, we have:

(-2/5) * (3/1)

Multiplying the numerators: (-2) * (3) = -6
Multiplying the denominators: (5) * (1) = 5

So the final answer, in simplest form, is -6/5.
