Question

1 2/3 multiplied by -3 1/2

Answer 1

Answer: -5 5/6

Explanation:

Convert each number into. 1 2/3 = 5/3 (1=3/3, so 3/3 + 2/3) and -3 1/2 = - 7/2

Then multiply the numbers

5/3 x -7/2 = -35/6 (5x7= 35 and 3x2= 6, negative because a negative times a positive is a negative)

Then simplify....6 goes into 35 5 times with 5 remaining, so -35/6 = -5 5/6
