Evaluate: $2 \frac{14}{25} \times\left(\frac{-5}{16}\right)$
✓
Answer
$\begin{aligned} & 2 \frac{14}{25} \times\left(\frac{-5}{16}\right) \\ & =\frac{2 \times 25+14}{25}
\times\left(\frac{-5}{16}\right)\end{aligned}$
$=\frac{64}{25} \times\left(\frac{-5}{16}\right)$
$=\frac{64 \times(-5)}{25 \times 16}=\frac{4 \times(-1)}{5 \times 1}=-\frac{4}{5}$
