The first way is distributive property of multiplication. 3/5*9=3/9÷5/1=27/5. 3/5*1/2=3*1/5*2=3/10. Then you add the products and you would get 57/10. Simplify 57/10 to 5 7/10. Second way, converting the mixed fraction to a improper fraction and then multiply. 9 1/2=9*2+1÷2=19/2. 3/5*19/2=3*19/5*2=57/10. Like I said before, 57/10 simplified is 5 7/10. The last way is use rounding of fractions to estimate the products, 3/5*9 1/2. Round 9 1/2 to 10. 3/5*10=3*10/5. 30/5=6, which means that 6 is the estimated product of rounding. Hoped I helped. :)
Answer: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Two negatives make a positive, -42/-7 would be 6. The same as a normal 42/7
