Answer

m×n=259m×109=259m=259÷109m=259×910m=25×99×10m=22590m=52m=212m \times n = -\dfrac{25}{9}\\[1em] \Rightarrow m \times -\dfrac{10}{9} = - \dfrac{25}{9}\\[1em] \Rightarrow m = -\dfrac{25}{9} ÷ -\dfrac{10}{9}\\[1em] \Rightarrow m = \dfrac{25}{9} \times \dfrac{9}{10}\\[1em] \Rightarrow m = \dfrac{25 \times 9}{9 \times 10}\\[1em] \Rightarrow m = \dfrac{225}{90}\\[1em] \Rightarrow m = \dfrac{5}{2}\\[1em] \Rightarrow m = 2\dfrac{1}{2}

if n=109n = -\dfrac{10}{9}, then n=212.n = 2\dfrac{1}{2}.
