Step-by-step explanation:
so, this is a multiplication ?
6 3/4 × (-11.5)
let's bring the mixed numbers to full fractions, and then we can easily multiply.
6 3/4 = (6×4 + 3)/4 = (24 + 3)/4 = 27/4
-11.5 = -11 1/2 = (-11×2 - 1)/2 = (-22 - 1)/2 = -23/2
so, the multiplication is
27/4 × -23/2 = 27×-23 / 4×2 = -621/8 =
= (-616 - 5)/8 = (-77×8 - 5)/8 = -77 5/8
