Question

Could someone help me with this?

Answer 1

First, convert both fractions into improper fractions:

-2 and 1/4= -9/4
-4 and 1/2= -9/2

Now we can find the product!

-9/4 x -9/2= 81/8

(Remember that when you multiply two negatives, the product turns positive)

And because 81/8 cannot be reduced, to find your final answer, just covert 81/8 into a mixed fraction! 

81/8= 10 and 1/8

Hope this helps!
