Answer 1

• The answer is 9 1/5.

Explanation:

Step-1: Convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

• => -2 2/5 ⇒ -12/5
• => -3 5/6 ⇒ -23/6

Step-2: Multiply the improper fractions.

• => -12/5 x -23/6
• => 12/5 x 23/6

[The minuses on both fractions cancelled out because when there are 2 minuses multiplying each other, the minuses cancel out.]

• => 2/5 x 23/1
• => 46/5

Step-3: Convert the improper fraction into mixed fraction.

• => 46/5 = 9 1/5

Hence, the answer is 9 1/5.
