Question

What is -3 2/3 x (-2 1/4)

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Solution:

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

Given that two mixed fractions are $-3 \frac{2}{3} \text { and }-2 \frac{1}{4}$

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

So we get;

$\frac{-11}{3} \text { and } \frac{-9}{4}$

On multiplying both the improper fractions we get;

$\frac{-11}{3} \times \frac{-9}{4}$

We can simplify as 9 is divisible by 3

And also both the negative signs cancel out.

$-11 \times \frac{-3}{4}=\frac{33}{4}$

Therefore the answer is $\frac{33}{4}$
