To multiply -2/5 by 3/10, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

(-2/5) * (3/10) = (-2 * 3) / (5 * 10) = -6/50

To simplify -6/50, we can factor out a common factor of 2 in the numerator and denominator to get:

-6/50 = (-3 * 2) / (25 * 2) = -3/25

Therefore, the answer in simplest form is -3/25.

To multiply 4 by -5/8, we can first convert 4 into a fraction with a denominator of 1:

4 = 4/1

Then, we can multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together:

(4/1) * (-5/8) = (4 * -5) / (1 * 8) = -20/8

Next, we can simplify the fraction -20/8 by factoring out a common factor of 4 in the numerator and denominator:

-20/8 = (-5 * 4) / (2 * 4) = -5/2

Finally, we can express -5/2 as a mixed number. To do this, we divide the numerator (-5) by the denominator (2) to get the whole number part, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fraction part:

-5 divided by 2 equals -2 with a remainder of 1.

So, the mixed number in simplest form is -2 1/2.

To multiply -2 1/2 by -1 3/5, we first need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

-2 1/2 can be written as -5/2, and -1 3/5 can be written as -8/5.

Next, we multiply the two fractions together:

(-5/2) * (-8/5) = 40/10

Simplifying the fraction, we get:

40/10 = 4

Therefore, the product of -2 1/2 and -1 3/5 is 4.

Converting 4 to decimal form gives us the answer:

4 = 4.0

Therefore, the product as a decimal is 4.0.
