Answer: 81/8 simplified form = 10 1/8 mixed form

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to solve the expression:

First, we have to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions:

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

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

Next, we have to simply multiply both numbers:

-9/4 x -9/2 = 81/8 simplified form = 10 1/8 mixed form

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
