Answer 1

To multiply \( 4 \) by \( -58 \):

\[ 4 \times -58 = -232 \]

Now, we need to express \( -232 \) as a mixed number in simplest form.

Since \( -232 \) is a whole number and not a fraction, we can write:

\[ -232 = -232 \frac{0}{1} \]

If we need to look at the options provided:

1. \( -248 \)
2. \( -10 \)
3. \( -212 \)
4. \( -52 \)

None of the options correspond to \( -232 \). Therefore, it seems there may be a misunderstanding with the requested answer form or that the options provided have inaccuracies related to the calculation.

The correct answer, based on the multiplication done, is:

\[ \boxed{-232} \]

as the mixed number form does not apply here, and none of the given responses match the calculation.
