Find the product -7/8 times (-2/5)

1 answer

To find the product of -7/8 and -2/5, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

(-7/8) * (-2/5) = (-7 * -2) / (8 * 5) = 14 / 40

Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2:

14 / 40 = 7 / 20

Therefore, the product is 7/20.
