$$\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{5}{6}-10$$

$-\frac{235}{24}\approx -9.791666667$

Multiply $\frac{1}{4}$ times $\frac{5}{6}$ by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{1\times 5}{4\times 6}-10$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction $\frac{1\times 5}{4\times 6}$.

$$\frac{5}{24}-10$$

Convert $10$ to fraction $\frac{240}{24}$.

$$\frac{5}{24}-\frac{240}{24}$$

Since $\frac{5}{24}$ and $\frac{240}{24}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{5-240}{24}$$

Subtract $240$ from $5$ to get $-235$.

$$-\frac{235}{24}$$

$-\frac{235}{24} = -9\frac{19}{24} = -9.791666666666666$
