C. 49

D. -49

Answer 1

Rule for Multiplying Fractions:( a/b) x (c/d) = ac/bd

Answer 2

Step 1: convert all numbers to form (a/b) and (c/d)

Answer 3

Applying Step 1, we get:
(a/b) = (-112/3)
(c/d) = (-21/5)

Answer 4

Step 2: Apply Rule for Multiplying Fractions (above)

Step 3: Reduce/Simplify the Answer

Answer 5

For Step 2, write your answer as (-112)(-21)/(3)(5)
For Step 3, simplify (-21/3) = -7 then the answer is just (-112)(-7))/(5)!
