I really need help with this question -(-6/7)•(-2/5)
Here's a helpful trick: It's the same as (-6*-2)/(7*5) which is 12/35. Hope that makes sense.
Turn both mixed numbers into improper fractions: -(34/6) and 11/5
Cool trick I found: (-34*5)/(11*6)
-(-6/7)*(-2/5) = 6/7 * (-2/5) = -12/35.
Oops, I didn't see the extra negative. @henry2 is right.
Maybe he is wrong though
No he's right because two negatives make a positive.
Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that question!
To solve the expression (-(-6/7))•(-2/5), we can break it down step by step. Let's start with the first part:
Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the first set of parentheses.
(-(-6/7)) = (6/7)
Now our expression looks like this: (6/7)•(-2/5).
Step 2: Multiply the two fractions together.
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators to get the new denominator.
(6/7)•(-2/5) = ((6•-2)/(7•5))
Simplifying further:
= (-12/35)
Therefore, the value of the expression (-(-6/7))•(-2/5) is -12/35.
To double-check the answer, you can use a calculator or perform the multiplication by hand. If you use a calculator, be sure to use parentheses to ensure the proper order of operations.
