Answer:

-16/27

Explanation:

If you're multiplying fractions and you have a mixed number, start by converting it into an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the denominator with the whole number and add the numerator to the product

-32/9 x 1/6

The numerator of the first fraction and the denominator of the second fraction can be cross simplified because they both share a GCF of 2

-16/9 x 1/3

You're left with -16/27. Since 16 and 27 don't share any factors, you're done.
