Question

Cassie and Amy are playing a flash card math game. Cassie has a card with a fraction -2/7 and Amy has a card with a fraction -3/4. Write expression to represent the product of their fractions then solve the equation

Answer 1

The product of the values -2/7 and -3/4 is 3/14

• Cassie's fraction = $- \frac{2}{7}$

• Amy's fraction = $- \frac{3}{4}$

The multiplication expression which relates Cassie's fraction with Amy's can be written thus :

• Cassie's fraction × Amy's fraction

• $- \frac{2}{7} \times - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{(2\times3)}{(7\times4)} = \frac{6}{28} = \frac{3}{14}$

• The negative cancels out after multiplying both values.

Therefore, the multiplication result of the two fractional values is $\frac{3}{14}$
