$$-\frac{2}{3}+3\times\frac{15}{4}$$

$\frac{127}{12}\approx 10.583333333$

Express $3\times \frac{15}{4}$ as a single fraction.

$$-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3\times 15}{4}$$

Multiply $3$ and $15$ to get $45$.

$$-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{45}{4}$$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $4$ is $12$. Convert $-\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{45}{4}$ to fractions with denominator $12$.

$$-\frac{8}{12}+\frac{135}{12}$$

Since $-\frac{8}{12}$ and $\frac{135}{12}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-8+135}{12}$$

Add $-8$ and $135$ to get $127$.

$$\frac{127}{12}$$

$\frac{127}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 10\frac{7}{12} = 10.583333333333334$
