Question

Find the product.

4 over 7(−20 over 2)

-2 over 35

5 and 5 over 7

-5 and 5 over 7

-9 and 3 over 7

Answer 1

To find the product of these fractions and mixed numbers, we can follow these steps:

1. Simplify the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
2. Multiply the numerators of the fractions.
3. Multiply the denominators of the fractions.
4. Reduce the resulting fraction, if possible.

Let's apply these steps to the given expressions:

1. Product of 4/7 and (-20/2):
4/7 * (-20/2) = (4 * -20) / (7 * 2) = -80/14 = -40/7 = -5 and 5/7

2. Product of -2/35:
-2/35

3. Product of 5 and 5/7:
5 * 5/7 = 25/7 = 3 and 4/7

4. Product of -5 and 5/7:
-5 * 5/7 = -25/7 = -3 and 4/7

5. Product of -9 and 3/7:
-9 * 3/7 = -27/7 = -3 and 6/7
