Answer:

- 1/9

Explanation:

So when you want to multiply fractions, you first one to simplify everything, and then multiply the top row and the bottom row:

- 2/3 * 1/6 <-- in this expression, we can simplify the 2 and the 6 to become a 1 and a 3 so:

- 1/3 * 1/3: Now we want to multiply the 1 and 1 and the 3 by 3:

1 * 1 = 1; 3 * 3 = 9;

1/9 is actually not our answer yet. We still have to add the negative to it so:

- 1/9 is your answer

Hope this helps! <3
