[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.

Therefore, (-1/3) * (-5/8) = (-1 * -5) / (3 * 8) = 5/24

So the correct answer is: 5/24

Answer 2

To multiply fractions, you need to multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.

In this case, you'll multiply the numerators: -1/3 * -5 = 5

And you'll multiply the denominators: 3 * 8 = 24

Therefore, the solution is 5/24.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To multiply −1/3 and −5/8, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. The numerator is the top part of a fraction, and the denominator is the bottom part.

So, you would have:

−1/3 * −5/8 = (−1 * −5) / (3 * 8)

When you multiply a negative number by another negative number, the result is positive.

So, −1 * −5 = 5.

And 3 * 8 = 24.

Therefore, the answer is 5/24.
