Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply -\frac{2}{3} times \frac{3}{5} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.Cancel out 3 in both numerator and denominator.Fraction \frac{-2}{5} can be rewritten as -\frac{2}{5} by extracting the negative sign.Least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10. Convert -\frac{2}{5} and \frac{5}{2} to fractions with denominator 10.Since -\frac{4}{10} and \frac{25}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.Add -4 and 25 to get 21.Multiply \frac{3}{5} times \frac{1}{6} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{3\times 1}{5\times 6}.Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{30} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.Since \frac{21}{10} and \frac{1}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.Subtract 1 from 21 to get 20.Divide 20 by 10 to get 2.
