The properties of multiplication that apply in this case are the commutative property and the distributive property.
1. Commutative Property: This property states that the order of the factors does not affect the product. Therefore, multiplying -2/5 by 3/10 or multiplying 3/10 by -2/5 will give the same result.
-2/5 * 3/10 = (3/10) * (-2/5)
2. Distributive Property: This property states that multiplying a number by a sum or difference is the same as multiplying the number by each term and then adding or subtracting the products. In this case, we can distribute the multiplication of -2/5 to both terms of the fraction 3/10.
-2/5 * 3/10 = (-2/5) * (3/10) = (-2 * 3) / (5 * 10) = -6/50
Therefore, -2/5 multiplied by 3/10 is equal to -6/50.
