Same step as for positive fractions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-7/10 x 14/35\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "step 1: multiply your numerators and denominators by each other:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-7 x 14 and 10 x 35\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "gives -98 and 350\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so you have -98/350\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2: now reduce to lowest common denominator:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-98 /2 and 350 / 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "gives you your final answer of -49/175\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can check by dividing the fractions into decimals.. so -7/10 is -0.7, and 14/35 is 0.4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SO multiply -0.7 x 0.4 = -0.28.. check -49/175 = -0.28\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "remember when you multiply a - by a +, you always get a - number
\n" ); document.write( "when you multiply a + by a +, you have a + number.
\n" ); document.write( "when you multiply a - by a - you have a positive number!!\r
