1. The value of the expression given as 4 and 1 over 10 times negative three times 5 over 12 is negative five and 1 over 8

   How to determine the product of the expression?

   The product statement is given as:

   4 and 1 over 10 times negative three times 5 over 12

   Rewrite the statement properly.

   This is represented as:

   4 1/10 * -3 * 5/12

   Express the mixed number as an improper fraction

   So, we have:

   4 1/10 * -3 * 5/12 = 41/10 * -3 * 5/12

   Divide 10 and 5 by 5

   So, we have:

   4 1/10 * -3 * 5/12 = 41/2 * -3 * 1/12

   Divide 3 and 12 by 4

   So, we have:

   4 1/10 * -3 * 5/12 = 41/2 * -1 * 1/4

   Multiply 1 and -1

   So, we have:

   4 1/10 * -3 * 5/12 = 41/2 * -1/4

   Multiply 2 and 4

   So, we have:

   4 1/10 * -3 * 5/12 = 41/8 * -1

   Multiply 41 and -1

   So, we have:

   4 1/10 * -3 * 5/12 = -41/8

   Express the improper fraction as a mixed number

   So, we have:

   4 1/10 * -3 * 5/12 = – 5 1/8

   This can be rewritten as:

   negative five and 1 over 8

   Hence, the value of the expression given as 4 and 1 over 10 times negative three times 5 over 12 is negative five and 1 over 8
