Question

  what is the steps and answer to -36 multiplied by -5/24=?

Answer 1

Hi Sparkles, This is just like multiplying fractions.

 

It is the same as -36/1 times -5/24.

 

Multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

(-36)times(-5)/(1)times(24).

 

Remember that a negative number times a negative number yields a positive result.

 

So (-36)times(-5)= 180 So we get 180/24 and that equals 7 1/2 or 7.5 or 15/2
