To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.
In this case, we have:
-5 1/4 × -11/12
First, convert the mixed number -5 1/4 to an improper fraction.
-5 1/4 is the same as -5 × 4/4 + 1/4, which simplifies to -20/4 + 1/4 or -19/4.
Now, multiply the fractions:
-19/4 × -11/12
Multiply the numerators: -19 × -11 = 209
Multiply the denominators: 4 × 12 = 48
So, the final answer is 209/48.
