To find the product of -5 2/3 and -1 1/2, we first convert these mixed numbers into improper fractions.
-5 2/3 = -(3*5+2)/3 = -17/3
-1 1/2 = -(2*1+1)/2 = -3/2
Next, we multiply the two fractions together:
(-17/3) * (-3/2) = (17/3) * (3/2) = (17 * 3) / (3 * 2) = 51/6
Finally, let's simplify the result:
51/6 = (3 * 17) / (3 * 2) = 17/1 = 17
Therefore, the product of -5 2/3 and -1 1/2 is 17.
