Answer:
-1 11/14 (or -25/14 as an improper fraction)
Step-by-step explanation:
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators by each other and the denominators by each other, then put the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.
- 5/2 * 5/7
Evaluating - 5 * 5, we get -25.
Evaluating 2 * 7, we get 14.
Putting -25 over 14, we get - 25/14.
To simplify, find how many times 25 goes into 14. The answer is 1 with a remainder of 11. Keeping the original negative, the final answer is -1 11/14.
