The answer is -3/4 (-0.75 in decimal form, negative zero point seventy-five in word form). Why? Well, we can begin by converting the mixed number to an improper fraction:
8 x 1 = 8
8 + 1 = 9
Your final mixed number conversion is -9/8. Now we can simplify:
2/3 x -9/8
Since there are no common denominators currently listed, we can multiply as it is.
2 x -9 = -18
3 x 8 = 24
Your new fraction is -18/24. This fraction can be reduced to simplest form through dividing by 6.
-18 / 6 = -3
24 / 6 = 4
Your final fraction is -3/4.
Your final answer: 2/3 x (-1 1/8) = -3/4 or -0.75.
