Answer:

3 3/5 x (-8 1/3) = -30.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

3 3/5 = (5 x 3 + 3)/5 = 18/5

-8 1/3 = (3 x (-8) + 1)/3 = -25/3

Now we can multiply the two fractions:

18/5 x (-25/3) = (18 x (-25))/(5 x 3) = -450/15

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 15:

-450/15 = (-30 x 15)/15 = -30
