Answer:
A: What is the product of 1 1/2 and −1 1/4?
[tex]1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]-1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{-5}{4}[/tex]
Product will be : [tex]\frac{3}{2} \times\frac{-5}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{-15}{8}[/tex] or [tex]-1\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
B: What is the product of −2 1/4 and −4 1/2?
[tex]-2\frac{1}{4}=\frac{-9}{4}[/tex]
[tex]-4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{-9}{2}[/tex]
Product will be : [tex]\frac{-9}{4} \times\frac{-9}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{81}{8}[/tex] or [tex]10\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
