Question

-6 2/9 x (7 3/6) = _______________

(These are mixed fractions)
Improper form :
-56/9 x (45/6) = __________

Answer 1

Explanation:

With the mixed, start with the whole numbers

-6 * 7 = -42

Then do the fractions

`-(2)/(9) *(3)/(6)`

simplify

`-(2)/(9) *(1)/(2)`

`(2)/(18)`

simplify :
`(1)/(9)`

and you end up with:
`-42(1)/(9)`

With the improper

`(-56)/(9) *(45)/(6)`

Start by simplifying the fraction down

`(-28)/(1) *(5)/(3)`

Multiply

`-(140)/(3)`

Check both if they are equivalent (you do that)

Answer 2

-21 7/9 or -(14/3)^2
