Answer 1

The solution is given below.

We have the fraction multiplication as $-\frac{13y}{15} \cdot \frac{3}{5y}$

The 's in the numerator and denominator will cancel out so the fraction will be reduced to $-\frac{13}{15} \cdot \frac{3}{5}$

Now, notice that $15=3 \cdot 5$

Therefore, rewriting the fraction again gives us $-\frac{13}{5 \cdot 3} \cdot \frac{3}{5}$

Now we can cancel the 's in the numerator and denominator.

This gives us $-\frac{13}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{5}$

Multiplying the numerators and denominators will give us  $-\frac{13}{25}$.

Hence, the answer is $-\frac{13}{25}$ .
