If you need a review on how to write a mixed number as an improper fraction, you can let me know in the comments below and I will be more than happy to help you remember how to do this.

Now we have 21/4 · 1/3.

Now to multiply fractions, multiply across the numerator and across the denominators.

So 21 · 1 is 21 and 4 · 3 is 12.

So we have 21/12.

Now, we can reduce this by dividing the top and bottom by 3 to get 7/4.

We can write 7/4 as the mixed number 1 and 3/4.

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !
