Find the product of:

Question

4 over 7(−20 over 2)

A) -2 over 35

B) 5 and 5 over 7

C) -5 and 5 over 7

D) -9 and 3 over 7

Answer 1

To find the product, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

The given expression is 4/7 * (-20/2).

The numerator is 4 * -20 = -80.

The denominator is 7 * 2 = 14.

Therefore, the product is -80/14.

Simplifying the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

-80/14 = -40/7.

Therefore, the product is -40/7.

In mixed number form, this can be written as -5 and 5/7.

So the correct answer is option C) -5 and 5 over 7.
