The product is \( -\frac{4}{3} \).
Solución
1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
\[
-3\frac{1}{3} = -\frac{3 \times 3 + 1}{3} = -\frac{10}{3}
\]
2. Multiply the fractions:
\[
\frac{2}{5} \times \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) = -\frac{2 \times 10}{5 \times 3} = -\frac{20}{15}
\]
3. Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5:
\[
-\frac{20 \div 5}{15 \div 5} = -\frac{4}{3}
\]
Thus, the product is:
\[
\frac{2}{5}\left(-3 \frac{1}{3}\right) = -\frac{4}{3}
\]

To find the product \( \frac{2}{5}\left(-3 \frac{1}{3}\right) \), first, convert the mixed number \(-3 \frac{1}{3}\) to an improper fraction. \(-3 \frac{1}{3} = -\left(3 \times 3 + 1\right) / 3 = -\frac{10}{3}\). Now, multiply: \[ \frac{2}{5} \times -\frac{10}{3} = \frac{2 \times -10}{5 \times 3} = \frac{-20}{15} = -\frac{4}{3}. \] So, \(\frac{2}{5}\left(-3 \frac{1}{3}\right) = -\frac{4}{3}.\)
