The awnser should be A. 49!
How I solved it-
-11 2/3 x (-4 1/5)
I started with turning the mixed numbers into improper fractions, Which the new equation would be, -35/3 x -21/5
Then multiplied them and got 735/15 and then just divide 735 by 15 and you will get 49. Hope this helps!!

The answer is A. 49.

convert -11 2/3 into and improper fraction and do the same things for -4 1/5.

so it will become. -35/3 x (-21/5).
TWO NEGATIVE EQUAL A POSITIVE.

35/3 x 21/5 - cancel out the greatest common factor 5

7/3 x 21 - cancel put the great common factor 3

7x7

= 49
