Question

I need help solving this equation. I will take a screenshot and attach it.

Answer 1

-2/9

1) In this case, We can multiply the numerators and the denominators straightforward:

$-\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{5}{9}=\frac{-10}{45}=-\frac{2}{9}$

2) Hence, the answer is -2/9 after simplifying it.
