Answer:

-20.4

Explanation:

Let's open the bracket first

Ok let's get to work

5 2/3(-3.6)

But to open the bracket we will have to convert the proper fraction to improper fraction...how

17/3(-3.6)

So we can then proceed to open the bracket

17/3×-3.6

-61.2/3

-20.4

So our final answer is-20.4
