Answer 6

5 1/3 X 4 4/5
You convert the whole numbers into fractions when you do that you get
16/3 X 24/5 then you cross multiply and you soon get
16/1 X 8/5 multiply that and you get
128/5then you make the improper fraction proper and you get 25 3/5
Now since a negative times a posotive is a negative you just add the negative sign

Answer 10

When solving this you'd want to change the mixed numbers into improper fractions so for 5 1/3 so 5 1/3 = 16/3 and for -4 4/5 so -4 4/5 = -24/5
Knowing this we can now multiply
16/3 * -24/5
You can cross cancel 3 and -24 because they can both be simplified by divifding by 3 so 3 becomes 1 and -24 becomes -8
16/1 * -8/5
Multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators
-128/5
You can divide which would give you -25.6 and .6 of 5 = 3 so 25.6 = 25 3/5, which is A
