Question

Multiply. (-5 5/8) • (-2 1/3) What is the product?​

Answer 1

Answer:

105/8 = 13 1/8 = 13.125

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to turn the (-5 5/8) into a mixed number. The mixed number you should be getting is - 45/8. The second step is to convert the (-2 1/3) into a mixed number as well, your second mixed number should be -7/3. Next multiply the two fractions, - 45/8 x (-7/3) = 315/24.

We can simplify 315/24 by dividing by 3, so you'll divide 315 divided by 3 and 24 divided by 3 and you should get ... 105/8. So 105/ 8 is equal to

13 1/8. If you need this fraction in decimal form it is 13.125.
