**Find the product. Write fractions in simplest form.**

1. \(1 \frac{2}{3} \left(-2 \frac{9}{10}\right)\)
2. \(-\left(3 \frac{5}{3}\right)^2\)
3. \(-1.27 \cdot (-2.02)\)

4. Mixed nuts cost $7.80 per pound. You purchase \(2 \frac{1}{4}\) pounds. What is the total cost of your purchase?

5. Write two fractions whose product is \(-\frac{4}{9}\).

**Evaluate the expression. Write fractions in simplest form.**

6. \(-0.2^3 - 4.15(-0.06)\)

7. \(2 \frac{1}{2} \times \left(-4 \frac{5}{7}\right) - \left(-\frac{3}{5}\right)^2\)

8. A gallon of gasoline costs $2.96. Your car has a 25-gallon gas tank.

   a. Find the cost of filling your gas tank if it is already \(\frac{3}{8}\) full.

   b. Your car averages \(17 \frac{3}{5}\) miles per gallon. After introducing an additive to your gasoline, your car averages \(19 \frac{1}{9}\) miles per gallon. The company advertised that the additive would give a 10% increase in miles per gallon. Did your car have a 10% increase in miles per gallon? Justify your answer.
