Solution

(i) $\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{- 7}{8} = \frac{3 \times (- 7)}{5 \times 8} = \frac{- 21}{40}$

(ii) $\frac{- 9}{2} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{- 9 \times 5}{2 \times 4} = \frac{- 45}{8}$

(iii) $\frac{- 6}{11} \times \frac{- 5}{3} = \frac{- 6 \times (- 5)}{11 \times 3} = \frac{30}{33}$

$= \frac{30 \div 3}{33 \div 3} = \frac{10}{11}$

(iv) $\frac{- 2}{3} \times \frac{6}{7} = \frac{- 2 \times 6}{3 \times 7} = \frac{- 12}{21}$

$= \frac{- 12 \div 3}{21 \div 3} = \frac{- 4}{7}$

(v) $\frac{- 12}{5} \times \frac{10}{- 3}$

$= \frac{- 12 \times 10}{5 \times (- 3)} = \frac{- 120}{- 15} = \frac{- 120 \div 15}{- 15 \div 15}$

$= \frac{- 8}{- 1} = \frac{8}{1} = 8$

(vi) $\frac{25}{- 9} \times \frac{3}{- 10}$

$= \frac{25 \times 3}{(- 9) \times (- 10)} = \frac{75}{90} = \frac{75 \div 15}{90 \div 15} = \frac{5}{6}$

(vii) $\frac{5}{- 18} \times \frac{- 9}{20}$

$\frac{5 \times (- 9)}{- 18 \times 20} = \frac{- 45}{- 360} = \frac{- 45 \div 45}{- 360 \div 45}$

$= \frac{- 1}{- 8} = \frac{1}{8}$

(viii) $\frac{- 13}{15} \times \frac{- 25}{26} = \frac{- 13 \times (- 25)}{15 \times 26} = \frac{325}{390}$

$= \frac{325 \div 65}{390 \div 65} = \frac{5}{6}$

(ix) $\frac{16}{- 21} \times \frac{14}{5} = \frac{16 \times 14}{- 21 \times 5} = \frac{224}{- 105}$

$= \frac{224 \div 7}{- 105 \div 7} = \frac{32}{- 15} = \frac{- 32}{15}$

(x) $\frac{- 7}{6} \times 24 = \frac{- 7 \times 24}{6} = - 7 \times 4 = - 28$

(xi) $\frac{7}{24} \times (- 48) = \frac{7 \times (- 48)}{24}$

$= 7 \times (- 2) = - 14$

(xii) $\frac{- 13}{5} \times (- 10) = \frac{- 13 \times (- 10)}{5}$

$= - 13 \times (- 2) = 26$
