1. Problem Description

The problem asks to evaluate the expression: 14×32×(23)\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{3}{2} \times (-\frac{2}{3}).

2. Solution Steps

To solve this, we multiply the fractions together.
Recall that when multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
Also remember that a positive times a negative is a negative.
14×32×(23)=1×3×(2)4×2×3=624\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{3}{2} \times (-\frac{2}{3}) = \frac{1 \times 3 \times (-2)}{4 \times 2 \times 3} = \frac{-6}{24}
Now we simplify the fraction. We can divide both the numerator and the denominator by
6.
624=624=6÷624÷6=14\frac{-6}{24} = -\frac{6}{24} = -\frac{6 \div 6}{24 \div 6} = -\frac{1}{4}

3. Final Answer

The final answer is 14-\frac{1}{4}.
