To multiply -11/6 by 7, you can first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction.

To do this, you multiply the whole number (7) by the denominator (6) and add it to the numerator (-11).

So, 7 * 6 = 42.

Then, -11 + 42 = 31.

The new fraction is 31/6.

To convert this improper fraction into a mixed number, divide the numerator (31) by the denominator (6).

So, 31 รท 6 = 5 remainder 1.

The mixed number is 5 and 1/6.
