[tex]\frac{-5}{8}\times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{-5}{12}[/tex] or -0.42
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The statement says -5/8 times 2/3
Solution:
[tex]=\frac{-5}{8}\times \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{-5\times 2}{8\times 3}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{-10}{24}[/tex]
the numerator and denominator is divided by 2
[tex]=\frac{-5}{12}[/tex]
Therefore, The multiplication of [tex]\frac{-5}{8}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] is [tex]\frac{-5}{12}[/tex] or -0.42
