1 vote

Answer:

16/21

Explanation:

In the first fraction, the negative numerator and negative denominator cancel each other.

In the second fraction, the negative numerator and negative denominator cancel each other.

The equivalent equation is

8/9×6/7=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

8×6/9×7=48/63

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 48 and 63 using

GCF(48,63) = 3

4/8÷43/63÷3=16/21

Therefore:

−8/9× −6/7=16/21
