\left(-2(1)/(4)\right)*\left(-2(1)/(3)\right)=(-1)(-1)\left((9)/(4)\cdot(7)/(3)\right)\\\\=(3\cdot 3\cdot 7)/(3\cdot 4)=(21)/(4)\\\\=5(1)/(4)

Answer:


5(1)/(4)}

Explanation:


-2(1)/(4) \cdot -2 (1)/(3)

Convert mixed fraction into improper fraction


-2(1)/(4)=-(9)/(4)


-2(1)/(3)=-(7)/(3)


-(9)/(4) \cdot -(7)/(3)}

Simplify the fraction. cancel out 9 and 3


-(3)/(4) \cdot -(7)/(1)}

Now multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator. negative times negative becomes positive.


(21)/(4)}


5(1)/(4)}
