Exercise 2 Page 95

When multiplying fractions, the product will be positive if the signs are the same and it will be negative if the signs are different. The product of fraction is equal to the product of the numerators divided by the product of the denominators.

Practice makes perfect
When multiplying fractions, the product will be positive if the signs are the same and it will be negative if the signs are different. cc Same Sign & Different Signs (+)(+)=(+) & (+)(-)=(-) (-)(-)=(+) & (-)(+)=(-)In our case both fractions are negative, so the product will be positive.
- 2/3(- 9/10)
2/3(9/10)
When we multiply fractions, we need to remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators divided by the product of the denominators. Let's find the given product!
2/3(9/10)
2* 9/3* 10
18/30
18Ă· 6/30Ă· 6
