To find the product of two fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
The given expression is: 4/7 * (-20/2)
= (4 * -20) / (7 * 2)
= -80/14
To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
= -40/7
So, the product of 4/7 * (-20/2) is -40/7, which is equivalent to option C) -5 and 5/7.
