$- 3 \frac{2}{3} \times - 4 \frac{1}{2} = 16 \frac{1}{2}$ $-3 2/3xx-4 1/2=16 1/2$

Explanation:

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

Now $3 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{11}{3}$ $3 2/3=(3xx3+2)/3=11/3$

and $4 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 4 + 1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}$ $4 1/2=(2xx4+1)/2=9/2$

Hence $- 3 \frac{2}{3} \times - 4 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{11}{3} \times \frac{9}{2}$ $-3 2/3xx-4 1/2=11/3xx9/2$

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

= $33/2$

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