You have to multiply:
[tex]-5\frac{1}{2}\cdot7\frac{5}{6}[/tex]First write the compound fractions as impropper fractions.
To do so, divide the whole number by one to express it as a fraction and add both fractions:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{1}+\frac{1}{2}\to\text{ common denominator 2} \\ \\ \frac{5\cdot2}{1\cdot2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{10}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{11}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 7\frac{5}{6}=\frac{7}{1}+\frac{5}{6}\to\text{ common denominator 6} \\ \frac{7\cdot6}{1\cdot6}+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{42}{6}+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{47}{6} \end{gathered}[/tex]Rewrite the multiplication using the corresponding impropper fractions:
[tex]-\frac{11}{2}\cdot\frac{47}{6}[/tex]And solve the multiplication, numerator * numerator and denominator*denominator:
[tex]-\frac{11}{2}\cdot\frac{47}{6}=-(\frac{11\cdot47}{2\cdot6})=-\frac{517}{12}[/tex]
