1st convert to mixed by multiplying -4 * 8 and putting that on top so you have -37/8 and do the same for the other
-37/8 * 3/2
Flip the second fraction
-37/8 * 2/3
Then multiply
-74/24 or 3 1/12

Reduce the expression, if possible, by cancelling the common factors.

In exact form it’d be -37/12

Decimal form: 3.083

Mixed number form: -3 1/12
