What is (-4/9) * (5/8) ?

-0.27777777777

or

-5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

It's

-4 x 5

9 8

(sorry ... don't know how to write fractions ...)

You multiply the numerators by numerators (the top numbers) and denominators by denominators (bottom numbers)

-4 x 5 equals - 20.

9 x 8 equals 72

That would be - 20/72, which simplifies to - 5/18.
