Answer 1

well, let's convert the -5.5 to a fraction and then let's get the product.

`-5.\underline{5}\implies -\cfrac{55}{1\underline{0}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{3}{5}* -\cfrac{55}{10}\implies \cfrac{(3)(-55)}{(5)(10)}\implies \cfrac{-165}{50}\implies -\cfrac{(5)(33)}{(5)(10)}\implies -\cfrac{33}{10}\implies -3(3)/(10)`
