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!
