Answer 1

-6and 1 over 3 because of simplification

Answer 2

(-2/3)*(5/4)

Note - multiplied by + = -.

2 into 4 is 2

(-2/3)*(5/4) = -(5)/(3*2) = -5/6



Product of  -2  2/5  and  -3  5/6

- 2  2/5 = - (2*5 + 2)/5 = - (10 + 2)/5 = -12/5           changed to improper fraction


- 3  5/6 = - (3*6 + 5)/6 = - (18 + 5)/6 = -23/6           changed to improper fraction


= (-12/5) * (-23/6)                6 into 12 is 2, - * -  is +

= + (2*23)/5

= 46/5                 5 into 46 is 9 remainder 1

= 9   1/5

Hope you find the explanation useful.
