Question

Find the product. 2/3 abc if a=10/24, b= -3 1/8, c= -4/5

Answer 1

First, convert 3⅛ to an improper fraction 25/8.

Also note that we have two negative numbers. Their product will be positive.

So the expression becomes 2/3×10/24×25/8×4/5=25/36.

We get this result by cancelling (dividing when there’s a common factor between a numerator and a denominator).
