Answer:

(81/49)

Explanation:

First, you would find the reciprocal of the second number, (-7/9), which is (9/-7)

Then, you can multiply the numerators and denominators.

9 times 9 is 81.

7 times -7 is -49.

The answer is (81/49), which is about 1.653.

It does make a difference when it is negative because a positive number times a negative number is always a negative number.
