Answer:

=8 1/4 as a fraction or 8.25 in decimal form.

Explanation:

The indicated operation is the product of the two fractions. Multiplication opens the brackets.

(-11/2)×(-3/2)

=(-11×-3)/(2×2)

=33/4

The negative signs before each term cancel out in multiplication and division.

=33/4 =8 1/4= 8.25

Choose 1 answer among the improper fraction, Mixed fraction or the decimal.
