Answer:

(Negative two-fifths) (Negative StartFraction 8 over 9 EndFraction) (one-third) (StartFraction 2 over 7 EndFraction)

Explanation:

(Negative two-fifths) (Negative StartFraction 8 over 9 EndFraction) (one-third) (StartFraction 2 over 7 EndFraction) = (-2/5)(-8/9)(1/3)(2/7)

Let's take the fraction and eliminate the negative sign because negative multiply negative= positive

(-2/5)(-8/9)(1/3)(2/7)= 32/945
