Answer: -0.666666666 or -2/3

Step-by-step explanation: here’s two ways you could have done it:

1. Divide 1/3 in your calculator. Press the equal button. Then multiply by -2. Then it shows up as -0.666666 repeated.

2. Convert -2 into a fraction of -2/1. Multiply -2/1 by 1/3 which equals to -2/3.

If you are looking for the answer in decimal form, I suggest using the first way. If you are looking for an answer in fraction form, I suggest using the second way.

Hope this helps and have a great day folks!
