Answer:
<em>The given operation represents half the whole</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Fractions
</u>
They represent rational numbers of the form

where a and b are integer numbers and b is not zero
Fractions can also be used as ratios to compare quantities. For example, if a>b, then the fraction a/b is greater than 1. In the case of a<b, it's interpreted as parts of a whole.
The fraction

means something has 2 of each 5 parts of the whole.
The question requires to find the product of


Thus, the given operation represents half the whole
Here is a photo of what I chose as my equivalent numbers (Red represents my work, blue represents which step comes next, and highlighter shows what the answer is). My reasoning that 1/2 and 5/10 are equivalent is because 5/10 divided by 5/5 is 1/2.
When raised to the third power, it is the number times itself three times.
-2(-2) = 4
4(-2) = -8
