Question

$$\frac{ 2 }{ 5 } \times (-1.2)=$$

Evaluate

$-0.48$

Solution Steps

Convert decimal number $-1.2$ to fraction $-\frac{12}{10}$. Reduce the fraction $-\frac{12}{10}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{2}{5}\left(-\frac{6}{5}\right)$$

Multiply $\frac{2}{5}$ times $-\frac{6}{5}$ by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{2\left(-6\right)}{5\times 5}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction $\frac{2\left(-6\right)}{5\times 5}$.

$$\frac{-12}{25}$$

Fraction $\frac{-12}{25}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{12}{25}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{12}{25}$$

Factor

$-0.48$
