What is -5/8 times 2/3 equal in fraction form

Answer: -5/12

Step-by-step explanation: Before multiplying two fractions together by multiplying across their numerators and multiplying across their denominators, you should always try to cross-cancel as your first step.

So in this problem, the 2 and 8 cross-cancel to 1 and 4.

Also, watch out for your signs. In this problem we have a negative times a positive so we know that our answer will be negative.

Now we can multiply across the numerators and across the denominators.

So we have 5 · 1 which is 5 and 4 · 3 which is 12.

So our answer is -5/12.

Be very careful with your signs!

What is the solution to this equation?<br><br> 8x - 5 (x-3) = 18
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We distribute the negative 5 to x minus three to get 8x-5x+15=18. Then, we cancel out the 15 by subtracting it from both sides. This leaves us with 8x-5x=3. When we subtract, we get 3x=3, and when we divide both sides by 3, we get x=1. Hope this helps :)
