Answer 1

To find the product of \( \frac{21}{14} \) and \(-1.5\), we can first simplify \( \frac{21}{14} \).

\[ \frac{21}{14} = \frac{3}{2} \]

Now we multiply \( \frac{3}{2} \) by \(-1.5\):

\[ -1.5 = -\frac{3}{2} \]

Now, we can calculate:

\[ \frac{3}{2} \times -\frac{3}{2} = -\frac{9}{4} \]

To convert \(-\frac{9}{4}\) to a decimal:

\[ -\frac{9}{4} = -2.25 \]

Thus, the answer is:

\(-2.25\)
