4 over 9 times -3

Answer 1

To compute \( \frac{4}{9} \times -3 \), you can first rewrite the -3 as a fraction:

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

Now, multiply the two fractions:

\[ \frac{4}{9} \times \frac{-3}{1} = \frac{4 \times -3}{9 \times 1} = \frac{-12}{9} \]

Now, simplify the fraction:

\[ \frac{-12}{9} = \frac{-4}{3} \]

So, \( \frac{4}{9} \times -3 = \frac{-4}{3} \).
