Multiply -2 and 1/2 by -1 and 3/5. Write the answer as a decimal. (1 point)

Answer 1

To multiply two fractions, multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.

For -2 * 1/2, the result is -1.
For -1 * 3/5, the result is -3/5.

Multiplying the numerators (-1 * -3) gives 3, and multiplying the denominators (2 * 5) gives 10.

Therefore, the answer is 3/10, which as a decimal is 0.3.
