Answer:

5/18

Explanation:

Parentheses next to each other mean to multiply. So, this problem means you need to multiply -4/9 and -5/8. To multiply fractions, you just have to multiply across. To make it easier to understand what I mean...

-4 x -5 = 20 (when you multiply two negatives, it makes a positive)

9 x 8 = 72

20/72 simplifies to 5/18.

Hope this helps!! Have a wonderful day C:
