Answer

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to multiply the two mixed fractions given.

To do that, we will first convert each of them into improper fractions

-3 (2/3) = (-11/3)

-1½ = (-3/2)

So, we can solve this now

-3(2/3) . -1½

= (-11/3) × (-3/2)

= (33/6)

= (11/2)

We will then convert this into the mixed fractions

(11/2) = 5½

Hope this Helps!!!
