Q. Perform the operation and reduce the answer fully. Make sure to express your answer as a simplified fraction.91⋅−65
Identify Operation and Setup: Step 1: Identify the operation and set up the multiplication of fractions.We need to multiply the fractions (91) and −(65).Calculation: (91)×−(65)
Multiply Numerators and Denominators: Step 2: Multiply the numerators and the denominators.Multiply the numerators: 1×−5=−5Multiply the denominators: 9×6=54So, the expression becomes 54−5.
Simplify the Fraction: Step 3: Simplify the fraction.The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 5 and 54 is 1.Thus, the fraction (−5)/(54) is already in its simplest form.
