To multiply fractions, we simply multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

(-2/5) * (3/10) = (-2 * 3) / (5 * 10) = -6/50

To simplify the fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 2.

-6/50 = -3/25

So, the answer in simplest form is -3/25.
