Question

-3/5*1/8 as the anser as a fraction

Answer 1

Multiplying fractions, unlike adding them, does not require you to find a common denominator. Simply multiply the numerator and denominator and simplify if you have to. In this case, it's $\frac{-3}{5} * \frac{1}{8}$.

--> $\frac{-3 * 1}{5 * 8}$

A negative multiplied by a positive is still negative, so this becomes $-\frac{3}{40}$.
