Multiplying integers with fractions?

Let's say that you were multiplying 10 by 2/5 , you would turn the 10 into 10/1 which is still equal to 10 then you multiply 10/1 and 2/5 by multiplying the numerators (the top numbers) and the denominators (the bottom numbers) 10*2/1*5 = 20/5 = 4

Is the product of two integers positive negative or zero How can you tell?

The product of two integers will be: * Zero, if one factor, or both, are zero. * Positive, if both factors have the same sign (both positive, or both negative) * Negative, if the two factors have different signs. Actually, these rules apply to all real numbers, not just to integers.
