Answer: -3 5/7

Step-by-step explanation: Alrighty!! First thing we need to do is convert all mixed numbers to fractions.

1 4/9 becomes 13/9

-2 4/7 becomes -18/7

So our equation looks like this now:
(13)/(9) * -(18)/(7)

Multiply the numerators together, and the denominator together!! We get


-(234)/(63)

We notice that both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 9. So now we simplify.


-(26)/(7)

Make into a mixed number:


-3(5)/(7)
