Answer: if simifily
Explanation:
1. Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
- 3 1/8 becomes (8 * 3 + 1)/8 = 25/8
- -2 5/6 becomes (6 * -2 + 5)/6 = -17/6
2. Multiply the two improper fractions together:
(25/8) * (-17/6) = (25 * -17)/(8 * 6) = -425/48
3. Simplify the result, if possible:
-425/48 is already in its simplest form.
Therefore, the product of 3 1/8 and -2 5/6 is -425/48.
