Answer:

The solution of -3 2/3 x (-2 1/4) is [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex]

Solution:

We are asked to simplify the multiplication of 2 two mixed fractions.

Given that two mixed fractions are [tex]-3 \frac{2}{3} \text { and }-2 \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Before we multiply these equations we need to convert them into improper fractions.

So we get;

[tex]\frac{-11}{3} \text { and } \frac{-9}{4}[/tex]

On multiplying both the improper fractions we get;

[tex]\frac{-11}{3} \times \frac{-9}{4}[/tex]

We can simplify as 9 is divisible by 3

And also both the negative signs cancel out.

[tex]-11 \times \frac{-3}{4}=\frac{33}{4}[/tex]

Therefore the answer is [tex]\frac{33}{4}[/tex]
