Answer:

-13/18

Explanation:

You have here a multiplication and a division in your expression. You need to multiply and divide in the order that they appear from left to right, according to the order of operations. So multiply first.

To multiply two fractions, you just multiply the top×top and bottom×bottom.

You could simplify it at this point but I waited to the end to simplify. See image.

Next, divide. If you have one or two fractions in a division problem, rewrite the division as a multiplication using Keep-Change-Flip! Keep the first term. Change divide to multiply. And Flip the second term (use the reciprocal is the math word for it.) See image.

Last, simplify.
