Question

Multiply:

(i) (-5/17) by (51/-60)

(ii) (-6/11) by (-55/36)

(iii) (-8/25) by (-5/16)

(iv) (6/7) by (-49/36)

Answer 1

(i) Given (-5/17) by (51/-60)

(-5/17) × (51/-60) 

= (-225/- 1020)

= (225/1020)

= (1/4)

(ii) Given (-6/11) by (-55/36)

(-6/11) × (-55/36) 

= (330/ 396)

= (5/6)

(iii) Given (-8/25) by (-5/16)

(-8/25) × (-5/16) 

= (40/400)

= (1/10)

(iv) Given (6/7) by (-49/36)

(6/7) × (-49/36) 

= (-294/252)

= (-7/6)
