Answer 1

To multiply 4/9 by -3, we can multiply the numerators and denominators:

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

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

(-12/9) ÷ 3 = -4/3

Therefore, the answer, as a mixed number in simplest form, is -1 1/3.
