You have to multiply the fractions


(-(2)/(7))\cdot(-(3)/(7))

First note that both values are negative. As a rule, when two negative values are mutiplied, the result will be positive, always.

Next, you have to multiply the numerators together and the denominators together as follows:


(2)/(7)\cdot(3)/(7)=(2\cdot3)/(7\cdot7)=(6)/(49)
