1) Please include a COMPLETE problem statement. 3) Please show YOUR work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the product in lowest terms? -8/9 X 5/6? A. – 1 B. -13/15 C. -20/27 D. -1/5

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

I think you may have missed the "show YOUR work" part. What do you have? What efforts have you made? Do you recall how to multiply fractions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i suck at fractions just do not get them

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

How did you manage the result in your original post? 1) Multiply numerators. 2) Multiply denominators. 3) Hunt for common factors and get rid of them.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

I thought we were multiplying fractions. It's time to stop sucking at it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ -40 }{ 54 }\]

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Common factors? They ARE both even. This suggests a "2" is common - maybe more.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you make absolute no sense

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

What are the factors of 40? Can you perform a "Prime Factorization"? 4 = 2*2 6 = 2*3 8 = 2*2*2 9 = 3*3 10 = 2*5 12 = 2*2*3 14 = 2*7 15 = 3*5 like that... Get only PRIME numbers on the right. 40 = 2*...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so no fun on this site ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the rule

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

I'm having fun. How about that Prime Factorization?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the answer
