    When multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and denominators together.

    -8 x 5 = - 40

    9 x 6 = 54

    -8/9 x 5/6 = - 40/54

    To simplify the fraction, find the biggest number that both 40 and 54 can go into. To do this, list the factors of each.

    40-

    1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40

    54-

    1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54

    The biggest number each goes into is 2

    Divide both - 40 and 54 by 2

    -40/2=-20

    54/2=27

    -40/54 = - 20/27

    C is he correct answer
