To solve this problem, we need to use the properties of operations and rules for multiplying and dividing signed numbers.

First, let's multiply 2 3/4 by -2 3/4:
(11/4) * (-11/4) = (-121/16)

Next, let's simplify the fraction:
81/99 = (9 * 9) / (11 * 9) = 81/99

Finally, let's express -81/99 as a negative fraction:
-81/99 = -81/99

So, the solutions are:
2 3/4 * -2 3/4 = -121/16
81/99
-81/99
