Enter your answer as a fraction, in simplified form.

Answer 1

Step by Step Explanation:
You could set this up so you could just multiply straight across. Setting it up this way helps me multiply fraction just for the sake of not getting confused.

`- (2)/(3) * (1)/(6)`
Without including the negative just yet, multiply straight across.
So 2×1 over 3×6 gives you the fraction:

`(2)/(18)`
Now you need to simply the fraction.
Both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 2, so divide by two.
Giving you the fraction:

`(1)/(9)`
Don't forget to add your negative, which give you your final answer.

ANSWER:

`- (1)/(9)`
