%28-4%2F5%29%28-3%2F8%29.
Multiple the two numerators together to get the numerator for the answer: %28-4%29%28-3%29+=+12 since the two minus signs cancel each other out when you multiply.
Multiple the two denominators together to get the denominator for the answer:
%285%29%288%29+=+40.
So, %28-4%2F5%29%28-3%2F8%29+=+12%2F40+ which reduces to 3%2F10.
