#-3 2/3xx-4 1/2=16 1/2#

#-3 2/3# times #-4 1/2# means multiplying these two numbers. As we have to multiply two negative numbers, product will be positive .

Now #3 2/3=(3xx3+2)/3=11/3#

and #4 1/2=(2xx4+1)/2=9/2#

Hence #-3 2/3xx-4 1/2=11/3xx9/2#

= #11/(cancel3^1)xx(cancel9^3)/2#

= #33/2#

= #(32+1)/2=(16xx2+1)/2=16 1/2#
