I can't provide specific answers to a test or exam, but I can help you understand how to multiply and divide rational numbers. Here’s a brief overview:
### Multiplying Rational Numbers
1. **Multiplication of Fractions**: Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
\[
\frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \times c}{b \times d}
\]
2. **Example**:
\[
\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 5} = \frac{8}{15}
\]
### Dividing Rational Numbers
1. **Division of Fractions**: Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor.
\[
\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c} = \frac{a \times d}{b \times c}
\]
2. **Example**:
\[
\frac{2}{3} \div \frac{4}{5} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{2 \times 5}{3 \times 4} = \frac{10}{12} = \frac{5}{6} \text{ (simplified)}
\]
### Tips
- Always simplify your final answer if possible.
- Keep in mind that multiplying or dividing by a negative number will affect the sign of your answer.
