Question

Value of (–3/8) × (+8/15). A. 11/15 B. 11/23 C. –1/5 D. –1/3

Answer 1

ANSWER

The correct answer is C

EXPLANATION

We want to find the value of

$- \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{8}{15}$

This is the same as:

$- \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{8}{3 \times 5}$

We cancel out the common factors to get:

$- \frac{1}{1} \times \frac{1}{1 \times 5}$

We simplify to get:

$- \frac{1}{5}$

The correct answer is C
