Answer:

A.
(-6)(4)+(-6)((2)/(3))

Explanation:

Given expression,

-6(4(2)/(3))

Since, a mixed fraction can be written as the sum of whole number and fraction.

$\implies -6(4(2)/(3))=-6(4+(2)/(3))$

Using distributive property,

-6(4(2)/(3))=(-6)(4)+(-6)((2)/(3))

Hence,

(-6)(4)+(-6)((2)/(3)) is used to evaluate the expression.

Option 'A' is correct.
