Answer

The answer is -8.

Step-by-step explanation

The question wants us to multiply the given numbers. To do that, we follow the mathematical law and take care of the bracket first

-3 × 4 = -12

So, the question becomes

-1/3 × (-12) × (-2)

We can write it in a better form as


\begin{gathered} (-1)/(3)*-12*-2 \\ =\text{ }(-1*-12*-2)/(3) \\ =(-24)/(3) \\ =\text{ -8} \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is -8.
