Multiply: −1/3⋅−5/8 (1 point) Responses 815 8 over 15 524 5 over 24 −524 negative 5 over 24 −5576

Answer 1

To multiply the fractions \(-\frac{1}{3} \cdot -\frac{5}{8}\), you can follow these steps:

1. Multiply the numerators: \(-1 \cdot -5 = 5\)
2. Multiply the denominators: \(3 \cdot 8 = 24\)

So,

\[ -\frac{1}{3} \cdot -\frac{5}{8} = \frac{5}{24} \]

Thus, the result is \(\frac{5}{24}\).

Looking at the provided options, the correct answer is:

5 over 24 (5/24).
