Answer:
The right answer is [tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
To multiply two fractions we multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator. In this case:
[tex]\frac{-1}{4} x\frac{-8}{9} = \frac{8}{36}[/tex]
Notice that both numerator and denominator are divisible by 4. Dividing both by 4 we get [tex]\frac{8}{36} = \frac{2}{9}[/tex]
