Use properties of operations and rules for multiplying signed numbers to multiply -2/3 by 3/10. Write the answer in simplest form

1 answer

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

The multiplication of the numerators (-2 * 3) gives us -6, and the multiplication of the denominators (3 * 10) gives us 30.

Therefore, the answer is -6/30.

To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6.

-6 divided by 6 is -1, and 30 divided by 6 is 5.

Hence, the final answer in simplest form is -1/5.
