Question

- 7/8 times(- 2/5)

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To simplify the expression - 7/8 times (- 2/5), we multiply the numerators and denominators separately:

(- 7/8) * (- 2/5) = (7 * 2) / (8 * 5) = 14/40

However, we can simplify this fraction further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

14/40 = (14/2) / (40/2) = 7/20

Therefore, - 7/8 times (- 2/5) is equal to 7/20.

To find the product of -7/8 and -2/5, you need to multiply the numerators together and then the denominators together:

(-7/8) * (-2/5)

((-7) * (-2)) / ((8) * (5))

(14) / (40)

Now, simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

14/40 = (7 * 2)/(20 * 2) = 7/20

So, -7/8 times -2/5 is equal to 7/20.
