Answer: [tex]-\frac{45}{8}[/tex] or [tex]-5\ \frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite each mixed numbers as fractions:
[tex]3\ \frac{3}{4}=\frac{(4*3)+3}{4}=\frac{12+3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}\\\\1\ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{(2*1)+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Make the multiplication:
Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction and the denominator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction.
[tex](\frac{15}{4})(-\frac{3}{2})=-\frac{45}{8}[/tex] or [tex]-5\ \frac{5}{8}[/tex]
