Answer 2

we can re-write the original expression as

(2 + 5/8) * (-2 - 3/5)

then convert each factor to a mixed number

Answer 3

oki so thats 50

Answer 4

so if we multiply along the green arrow we get (8)(2) = 16

and if we add along the blue arrow we get 16 + 5 = 21

putting that on top of our original denominator gives us 21/8 as the mixed number

try repeating this process with (2 and 3/5)

Answer 5

wait

Answer 6

yea

Answer 7

multiply along the bottom arrow, add along the top arrow

Answer 8

oki

Answer 9

so bottom is 10

Answer 10

then add 3

Answer 11

13

Answer 12

right

Answer 13

good so (-2 and 3/5) = (-13/5)

from there it's straightforward

(-13/5) * (21/8)

multiply the numerators, multiply the denominators, then create the product by putting (numerator product/denominator product)

Answer 14

sorry brain fart numerator is the top right

Answer 15

yes, so -13 * 21

Answer 16

its -273

Answer 17

right?

Answer 18

good, then the denominators 5*8 = 40

so we now have -273/40

now, we know that 40 goes into 273 about 6 times, with 33 left over so we can re-write -273/40
as

-6 - (33/40)

which is closest to answer choice 1

Answer 19

oki thank you so much your a life safer

Answer 20

thanks
