We are given the following expression

[tex]6\frac{3}{4}(-11.5)[/tex]

As you can see, a mixed number is being multiplied with a negative decimal number.

First, convert the mixed number to a simple fraction then multiply with the decimal number

[tex]6\frac{3}{4}=\frac{6\cdot4+3}{4}=\frac{24+3}{4}=\frac{27}{4}[/tex]

Now multiply it with the negative decimal number

[tex]\frac{27}{4}(-11.5)=-\frac{310.5}{4}=-77.625[/tex]

So the resultant decimal number may be written back into the mixed form as

[tex]-77.625=-77\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, the result of the given expression is -77 5/8
