. Write the answer as a simplified fraction with the correct sign.(1 point)

Answer 1

To divide \(-9\) by \(27\), you can write it as:

\[
\frac{-9}{27}
\]

Now, simplify the fraction. Both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by \(9\):

\[
\frac{-9 \div 9}{27 \div 9} = \frac{-1}{3}
\]

Thus, the answer is:

\[
\frac{-1}{3}
\]
