Apologies for the misunderstanding. Let's go through the options again to determine the correct answer.
To multiply −25 by 310, we can set up the multiplication like this:
−25 × 310
Using the rules for multiplying a positive and negative number, the product will be negative.
Now, let's evaluate the options:
−6/50: This is not the correct answer as it is a fraction and not in simplest form.
3/5: This is not the correct answer as it is a fraction and does not match the sign of the product.
−6/5: This is also not the correct answer as it is a fraction and not in simplest form.
−3/25: This is the correct answer, both in terms of being a fraction and in simplest form.
Therefore, the correct answer is −3/25.

Multiply 4 by −58. Write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form.
To multiply 4 by -58, we can set up the multiplication like this:
4 × -58
To multiply a positive number by a negative number, the product is negative.
4 × 58 = 232
Since one of the numbers is negative, the answer will be negative.
Thus, 4 × -58 = -232.
To write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form, we divide the absolute value of the product (-232) by the absolute value of the second number (58):
|-232| ÷ |58| = 4
So the mixed number in simplest form is -4.
4 × -58
To multiply a positive number by a negative number, the product is negative.
4 × 58 = 232
Since one of the numbers is negative, the answer will be negative.
Thus, 4 × -58 = -232.
To write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form, we divide the absolute value of the product (-232) by the absolute value of the second number (58):
|-232| ÷ |58| = 4
So the mixed number in simplest form is -4.
Multiply 4 by −5/8. Write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form.
To multiply 4 by -5/8, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
4 × (-5/8) = (4 × -5)/(1 × 8) = -20/8
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
(-20/4) ÷ (8/4) = -5/2
Now, let's write the answer as a mixed number. The whole number part is obtained by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
-5 ÷ 2 = -2 remainder 1
So the mixed number in simplest form is -2 and 1/2.
4 × (-5/8) = (4 × -5)/(1 × 8) = -20/8
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
(-20/4) ÷ (8/4) = -5/2
Now, let's write the answer as a mixed number. The whole number part is obtained by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
-5 ÷ 2 = -2 remainder 1
So the mixed number in simplest form is -2 and 1/2.
Multiply −2 1/2 by −1 3/5. Write the answer as a decimal.
To multiply -2 1/2 by -1 3/5, we first need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
-2 1/2 can be expressed as -5/2 since 2 multiplied by 2 is 4 and then adding 1 gives us 5.
-1 3/5 can be expressed as -8/5 since 1 multiplied by 5 is 5 and then adding 3 gives us 8.
Now, we can multiply the fractions:
(-5/2) × (-8/5) = (5 × 8) / (2 × 5) = 40/10 = 4
Therefore, the answer is 4 as a decimal.
-2 1/2 can be expressed as -5/2 since 2 multiplied by 2 is 4 and then adding 1 gives us 5.
-1 3/5 can be expressed as -8/5 since 1 multiplied by 5 is 5 and then adding 3 gives us 8.
Now, we can multiply the fractions:
(-5/2) × (-8/5) = (5 × 8) / (2 × 5) = 40/10 = 4
Therefore, the answer is 4 as a decimal.
