Answer 1

To multiply \( \frac{4}{5} \) by \( -9 \), you can treat \( -9 \) as a fraction: \( -9 = \frac{-9}{1} \).

Now, multiply the fractions: \[ \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{-9}{1} = \frac{4 \times -9}{5 \times 1} = \frac{-36}{5} \]

Thus, the result is \( \frac{-36}{5} \).

This can also be expressed as a mixed number: \[ -7 \frac{1}{5} \]

None of the provided options match \( \frac{-36}{5} \) or \( -7 \frac{1}{5} \). However, if you're looking for a decimal representation, \( \frac{-36}{5} = -7.2 \).

Make sure to confirm if additional options are available or if the question is asking for a specific representation.

Answer 2

so the answer is:

Answer 3

The answer to the multiplication \( \frac{4}{5} \times -9 \) is:

\[ \frac{-36}{5} \]

This can also be expressed as a mixed number:

\[ -7 \frac{1}{5} \]

If the options you provided are:

• \( -\frac{7}{15} \)
• \( -8 \)
• \( -\frac{44}{5} \)
• \( 7 \)

None of these choices match the calculated result of \( -\frac{36}{5} \) or \( -7 \frac{1}{5} \).

The final answer in the simplest form is \( -\frac{36}{5} \).

Answer 5

To solve the multiplication \( \frac{4}{5} \times -9 \):

1. Convert \(-9\) to a fraction: \(-9 = \frac{-9}{1}\).
2. Multiply the two fractions:

\[ \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{-9}{1} = \frac{4 \times -9}{5 \times 1} = \frac{-36}{5} \]

Now, let's express \(-\frac{36}{5}\) as a mixed number:

\[ -7 \frac{1}{5} \]

Now, looking at the options you provided:

• −7 15
• -8
• −445
• 7

None of these options match \(-\frac{36}{5}\) or \(-7 \frac{1}{5}\).

However, it is important to note that:

• The closest mixed number to \(-7 \frac{1}{5}\) would be \(-8\), but it's not the correct answer as per our calculations.

So, the answer is none of the provided choices correctly represents the result of the multiplication.

The correct answer is \( -\frac{36}{5} \) or \( -7 \frac{1}{5} \).

Answer 6

pick one of the answer choices

Answer 7

Given the options you provided:

1. −7 15
2. -8
3. −445
4. 7

The closest choice, based on our calculation of \( -\frac{36}{5} \) (or \(-7 \frac{1}{5}\)), would be -8 because it is the nearest integer to \(-7.2\).

So, the best choice from the options provided is -8.
