I dont know how to solve this problem and i dont get it. Can someone explain to me how to solve this problem? (im not trying to cheat).
-7/9 * 3/5
- 7 / 9 ∙ 3 / 5 = - 7 ∙ 3 / 9 ∙ 5 = - 7 ∙ 3 / 3 ∙3 ∙ 5 = - 7 / 3 ∙ 5 = - 7 / 15
thank you but how and what did you do to get that
when multiplying fractions, multiply the tops and the bottoms, then simplify by canceling common factors above and below.
If that still makes no sense, google can provide further explanations, as can your school textbook ...
oh ok thank you so much that actaully helped alot
Certainly! To solve this problem, you need to multiply the two fractions together.
Here's a step-by-step explanation:
1. Start by multiplying the numerators (top numbers) of the fractions together. In this case, it's (-7) * (3) = -21.
2. Next, multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) of the fractions together. In this case, it's (9) * (5) = 45.
3. Now, you have the product of the numerators and the product of the denominators: -21/45.
4. If possible, simplify the fraction. In this case, you can simplify it by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 3. So, -21 divided by 3 is -7, and 45 divided by 3 is 15.
After simplifying, you get the final answer: -7/15.
That's it! The solution to the problem -7/9 * 3/5 is -7/15.
