Answer:

-15

63 but in simplified form, it's like this: -5

21

Step-by-step explanation: For multiplication and division, you don't need a common denominator, but for addition and subtraction you have to find the common denominator...


For this problem, since your multiplying, you just multiply straight accross, and if it needs to be simplified, then simplify:

5/9 x -3/7

-15

63

SIMPLIFIED because both -15 & 63 can be divided by 3 and end up like this:

-5

21

-15/63, multiply the five to the -3 to get -15, and multiply the 9 to the 7 to get 63. -15/63.
