Answer:
-25/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the mixed number 16 2/3 to an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number by the denominator, them add the product to the numerator.
[tex]16 \frac{2}{3}\\= \frac{(16*3) + 2}{3}\\= \frac{50}{3}[/tex]
Multiply the two fractions -1/8 and 50/3
The product's numerator is the product of the two numerators in the question.
The product's denominator is the product of the two denominators in the question.
[tex]\frac{-1}{8}* \frac{50}{3} = \frac{-1 * 50}{8 * 3} = \frac{-50}{24}= -\frac{25}{12}[/tex]
Reduce the fraction at the end. Both numerator and denominator are divisible by 2.
-25/12 is an improper fraction because the numerator is greater than the denominator.
