Answer:

1) -15/32

2) 2/15

3) -203.5

4) -3/2 = -1.5

5) 10/3 = 3 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1, you just multiply the numerators and denominators together (3 by 5, 4 by 8) and then because it is negative, add the negative sign.

For 2, you multiply again, but because there are 2 negative signs, it becomes positive.

For 3, you divide 81.4 by 0.4, you could also divide 814 by 4.

For 4, you keep change flip, so the equation would become -9/4 (-2 1/4=-9/4) and 3/2 would become 2/3. The equation would be (-9/4 * 2/3). Then, you would get -18/12 which is -3/2.

For 5, you just multiply 4/3 by 5/2 which is 20/6 and because 2 negatives, it becomes positive.

1. -15/32

-3/4 TIMES 5/8. So what you are going to do is multiply the bottom number by the top number and remember that a negative times positive equals negative. -3 times 5 equals -15 so that's the top number. Then, do the bottom number and it's 8 times 4, which is 32.

2. 2/15

So you do the same stuff for the last problem but now for this one so -1 times -2 is positive 2 so that's going to be the top number. Then 5 times 3 is 15.

3. -203.5

(-81.4)/0.4. So what you can do is do long division and get -203.5.

4. -1/5

(-2 1/4)/11/2. So what we can do is put the first fraction into improper fractions. So that would be -9/4 DIVIDED by 11/2. So then you're going to multiply 11/2 by 2 and get 22/4. Now we have -9/4 divided by 22/4.

5. 3 1/3

Switch them to improper fractions. -4/3 times -5/2. This will definitely be a positive because of the fact that it's a negative times a negative. This would equal 20/6 which can be simplified to 3 and 1/3.
