-3/4 x 2/5

1 answer

To multiply the fractions \(-\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{2}{5}\), you can follow these steps:

  1. Multiply the numerators: \(-3 \times 2 = -6\)

  2. Multiply the denominators: \(4 \times 5 = 20\)

Now, combine them:

\[ -\frac{6}{20} \]

Next, simplify the fraction. The numerator and denominator can both be divided by 2:

\[ -\frac{6 \div 2}{20 \div 2} = -\frac{3}{10} \]

So, \(-\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{5} = -\frac{3}{10}\).
