multiply 4/9 x -3
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

In this case, the calculation would be:

(4/9) x (-3)
= (4 x -3) / (9 x 1)
= -12/9

However, it is recommended to simplify the fraction, if possible. In this case, both -12 and 9 can be divided by 3:

= -4/3

So, 4/9 x -3 equals -4/3.
Multiply 4/9 by −3. Write the answer as a mixed number in simplest form
To multiply a fraction by a whole number, multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number.

First, multiply:

(4/9) x (-3)
= (4 x -3) / 9
= -12 / 9

Now, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:

-12/9 = (-12 ÷ 3) / (9 ÷ 3)
= -4/3

The final answer, written as a mixed number in simplest form, is -1 1/3.
