Answer:

Juan believes the answer is -2/15.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem is :

[tex]\dfrac{-1}{3}\times \dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

We need to solve the problem.

[tex]\dfrac{-1}{3}\times \dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{-1\times 2}{3\times 5}\\\\=\dfrac{-2}{15}[/tex]

So, the answer to the problem is [tex]\dfrac{-2}{15}[/tex]. Hence, Juan is correct.
