Answer:

-42/4 or -10 1/2

Explanation:

So you might want to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

15/4*(-14/5)

Then what you want to do is cross multiply.

Since 5 can go into 15 that would make it into..

3/4*(14/1)

which makes it way easier to multiply.

3*(-14)= -42

4*(-1)= -4

your answer would be

-42/4 or -10 1/2
