The KEY to multiplying fractions is to simply multiply the numerators together to get your new numerator, then multiply your denominators together to get your new denominator.
Multiplying -4 by -3 would give us 12, and multiplying 5 by 8 gives us 40, so our final answer would be 12/40.
And because both are divisible by 4, we could reduce it down to 4/10.
Remember, multiplying 2 negatives together gives your a positive!

-4/5*(-3/8) = .3
or if you need it in fraction form its 3/10
Just remember if your neg # are even in your equation then you will have a possive answer If your neg signs are odd then your answer will always be a neg answer
