Answer: -7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(1/5)⋅(1/3)

Convert -4(1/5) to an improper fraction.

A mixed number is an addition of its whole and fractional parts.

− (4 +1/5) ⋅(1/3)

 Add 4 and 1/5

-21/5  ⋅ 1/3

Cancel the common factor of 3.

Move the leading negative in − 21 /5 into the numerator.

−21/5 ⋅ 1/3

Factor 3 out of −21.

3 (−7)/5 ⋅ 3 /1

Cancel the common factor.

Rewrite the expression.

−7 /5
