To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
So, (-2/5) * (3/10) = ((-2) * (3)) / ((5) * (10)) = (-6) / (50)
The answer can be simplified by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator. In this case, the GCD of -6 and 50 is 2.
Therefore, (-6) / (50) can be simplified to -3/25.
Use properties of operations and rules for multiplying signed numbers to multiply −2/5 by 3/10 . Write the answer in simplest form.
