Multiply 4/9 by -3 write as a mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

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

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

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

-12/9 = -4/3

To write this as a mixed number, we can divide the numerator (which is -4) by the denominator (which is 3) and write the quotient as a whole number and the remainder as a fraction.

-4 ÷ 3 = -1 remainder 1

Therefore, the mixed number is -1 1/3.
