To multiply -2 1/2 by 1 3/5, we need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions before multiplying.
-2 1/2 can be written as -5/2 in improper fraction form.
1 3/5 can be written as 8/5 in improper fraction form.
Now, we can multiply the two fractions:
(-5/2) * (8/5)
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(-5 * 8) / (2 * 5)
Simplifying, we get:
-40/10
Since both -40 and 10 are divisible by 10, we can simplify further:
-4/1
Therefore, -2 1/2 multiplied by 1 3/5 is -4/1 or simply -4.
-2 1/2 can be written as -5/2 in improper fraction form.
