Let's just multiply this out, and then simplify it if possible. This will ensure it is in it's simplest form.

 

$$\begin{array}{l}
\frac{-2}{5}\times(-7)\times\frac{7}{-6}\\\\
\frac{-2\times-7}{5}\times\frac{7}{-6}\\\\
\frac{14}{5}\times\frac{7}{-6}\\\\
\frac{14\times7}{5\times-6}\\\\
\frac{98}{-30}\\\\
-\frac{98}{30}\\\\
-3\frac{8}{30}\\\\
-3\frac{4}{15}\\\\

\end{array}$$

 

This can't be simplified any further, so this is our final answer.
