Answer 1

To determine the sign of the product \(-\frac{2}{9} \times \frac{1}{7}\), we first note the signs of the numbers being multiplied.

• The number \(-\frac{2}{9}\) is negative.
• The number \(\frac{1}{7}\) is positive.

The product of a negative number and a positive number is always negative.

Therefore, the sign of the product \(-\frac{2}{9} \times \frac{1}{7}\) is negative.

Thus, the answer is: \(-\)
