What is the product of 4/3 and -8/5?

  1. -10/15

  2. -30/8

  3. -32/15

  4. -2 2/3

The correct answer is: -10/15

When multiplying fractions, we simply multiply the numerators and denominators separately. Therefore, the product of 4/3 and -8/5 is (-4 * -8) / (3 * 5) = 32/15. The incorrect options B and C are the result of incorrect multiplication of -8 and 4, and -5 and 3 respectively. Option D appears to be the result of adding instead of multiplying the fractions.
