Yeah, that's right, if the other side is already 9 over one. But why don't you show the whole problem. Remember negatives cancel each other in multiplication.

that is correct! so you ended up with -54/1, which is the same as just saying -54.

If you change 2(TWO) signs in a MULTIPLICATION...The expression remains the same.....SO if it helps you to understand it-- Do it..
