Question

Use properties of operations and rules for multiplying sign numbers to multiply-2/5* 3/10 right the answer in simplest forms a -325 b 3/5 C negative 6/5 d -650s

Answer 1

To multiply the fractions \(-\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{10}\), we follow these steps:

1. **Multiply the numerators**:
\[
-2 \times 3 = -6
\]

2. **Multiply the denominators**:
\[
5 \times 10 = 50
\]

3. **Combine the results**:
\[
-\frac{6}{50}
\]

4. **Simplify the fraction**:
The numerator and denominator can both be divided by 2:
\[
-\frac{6 \div 2}{50 \div 2} = -\frac{3}{25}
\]

Thus, the answer in its simplest form is:
\[
-\frac{3}{25}
\]
