[tex](-5\frac{2}{5})\cdot3\frac{7}{10}=[/tex]
To perform this multiplication, first, we have to transform the mixed numbers into fractions as follows:
[tex]-5\frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5\cdot5+2}{5}=-\frac{27}{5}[/tex][tex]3\frac{7}{10}=\frac{3\cdot10+7}{10}=\frac{37}{10}[/tex]Substituting these values into the multiplication, we get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (-5\frac{2}{5})\cdot3\frac{7}{10}= \\ =(-\frac{27}{5})\cdot\frac{37}{10}= \\ =-\frac{27\cdot37}{5\cdot10}= \\ =-\frac{999}{50} \end{gathered}[/tex]This result can be expressed as a mixed number as follows:
[tex]-\frac{999}{50}=-\frac{950+49}{50}=-(\frac{950}{50}+\frac{49}{50})=-(19+\frac{49}{50})=-19\frac{49}{50}[/tex]
