The is answer is:


-9 (5)/(24)

Why:

This is simple. First make


4 (1)/(3)

Into


(13)/(3)

And then times it with 17/8 which would be


(221)/(24)

Simplify you answer and remember to add a negative because we are multiplying a positive and negative number which will make you get


- 9 (5)/(24)
