To multiply \( \frac{4}{5} \) by \( -9 \), you can treat \( -9 \) as a fraction: \( -9 = \frac{-9}{1} \).

Now, multiply the fractions:
\[
\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{-9}{1} = \frac{4 \times -9}{5 \times 1} = \frac{-36}{5}
\]

Thus, the result is \( \frac{-36}{5} \).

This can also be expressed as a mixed number:
\[
-7 \frac{1}{5}
\]

None of the provided options match \( \frac{-36}{5} \) or \( -7 \frac{1}{5} \). However, if you're looking for a decimal representation, \( \frac{-36}{5} = -7.2 \).

Make sure to confirm if additional options are available or if the question is asking for a specific representation.

The answer to the multiplication \( \frac{4}{5} \times -9 \) is:

\[
\frac{-36}{5}
\]

This can also be expressed as a mixed number:

\[
-7 \frac{1}{5}
\]

If the options you provided are:

- \( -\frac{7}{15} \)
- \( -8 \)
- \( -\frac{44}{5} \)
- \( 7 \)

None of these choices match the calculated result of \( -\frac{36}{5} \) or \( -7 \frac{1}{5} \).

The final answer in the simplest form is \( -\frac{36}{5} \).

To solve the multiplication \( \frac{4}{5} \times -9 \):

1. Convert \(-9\) to a fraction: \(-9 = \frac{-9}{1}\).
2. Multiply the two fractions:

\[
\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{-9}{1} = \frac{4 \times -9}{5 \times 1} = \frac{-36}{5}
\]

Now, let's express \(-\frac{36}{5}\) as a mixed number:

\[
-7 \frac{1}{5}
\]

Now, looking at the options you provided:

- **−7 15**
- **-8**
- **−445**
- **7**

None of these options match \(-\frac{36}{5}\) or \(-7 \frac{1}{5}\).

However, it is important to note that:

- The closest mixed number to \(-7 \frac{1}{5}\) would be \(-8\), but it's not the correct answer as per our calculations.

So, the answer is **none of the provided choices** correctly represents the result of the multiplication.

The correct answer is \( -\frac{36}{5} \) or \( -7 \frac{1}{5} \).
Answered by GPT-4o mini
Given the options you provided:

1. **−7 15**
2. **-8**
3. **−445**
4. **7**

The closest choice, based on our calculation of \( -\frac{36}{5} \) (or \(-7 \frac{1}{5}\)), would be **-8** because it is the nearest integer to \(-7.2\).

So, the best choice from the options provided is **-8**.
