Question Solve $4 \frac{5}{8} \cdot\left(-1 \frac{3}{5}\right)$. Choices: $1 \frac{1}{2}$, $-4 \frac{3}{8}$, $-\frac{296}{40}$, $\frac{296}{40}$.

Studdy Solution
Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number. The whole number is the quotient of the division, and the remainder is the numerator of the fraction.
$$\text{Mixed Number} = -7 \frac{2}{5}$$So, the solution to $4 \frac{5}{8} \cdot\left(- \frac{}{5}\right)$ is $-7 \frac{2}{5}$. However, this option is not available in the multiple choice answers. The closest option is $-\frac{296}{40}$, which is the unsimplified version of our answer. Therefore, the correct choice is $-\frac{296}{40}$.
