Answer 2

Answer:

The product $\frac{5}{8}$ and reciprocal of  $\frac{-3}{5}$= $\frac{-25}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two rational numbers $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{-3}{5}$

To find,

The product $\frac{5}{8}$ and reciprocal of  $\frac{-3}{5}$

Solution:

Reciprocal of a number is obtained by interchanging the numerator and denominator of the fraction

Hence the Reciprocal of  $\frac{-3}{5}$ = $\frac{5}{-3} = \frac{-5}{3}$

The product of  $\frac{5}{8}$ and reciprocal of  $\frac{-3}{5}$ = Product of   $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{-5}{3}$

=  $\frac{5}{8}$ × $\frac{-5}{3}$

= $\frac{-25}{24}$

∴The product $\frac{5}{8}$ and reciprocal of  $\frac{-3}{5}$= $\frac{-25}{24}$
