Find each product or quotient where possible. See Example 2. -3⁄8 ( -24⁄9 )

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify the problem as multiplying two fractions: \(-\frac{3}{8}\) and \(-\frac{24}{9}\).

Recall the rule for multiplying fractions: multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. So, the product is \(\frac{-3 \times -24}{8 \times 9}\).

Calculate the numerator: \(-3 \times -24\) (note that multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive number).

Calculate the denominator: \(8 \times 9\).

Simplify the resulting fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD) to get the fraction in simplest form.
