OK, the reciprocal of -1/3 is -3. You flip the number to find the reciprocal. I can't really tell what the problem is, and I know it is hard to type math problems online. But anyway...
So, -1/3 = -3, 9/2 = 2/9, and 4 = 1/4
If you multiply -1/3 by 9/2, it would be -2/6 * 27/6 = -54/6 * 4/1 = -9 * 4 = -36
And the reciprocal of -36 is -1/36.
Hope this helps some!

-1/3 * 9/2 *4/1=-6 the reciprocal is -1/6
3 becomes 1 and 9 becomes 3
2 becomes 1 and the 4 becomes2

(-1/3)(9/2)(4)
just multiply across. think of 4 as 4/1
(-1/3)(9/2)(4/1)
multiply the tops (-1 * 9 * 4) = -36
then multiply the bottoms (3 * 2 * 1) = 6
then you have -36/6, which is -6
then the reciprocal. -6, reciprocal is -1/6

(-1/3)(9/2)(4) = (-1*9*4)/(3*2*1) = -36/6 = - 6
reciprocal = -1/6
- 6* (-1/6) = 1

multiply them together
( -1/3) * (9/2) * (4)
= -6 or -6/1
reciprocal just means flip the fraction
-6/1 => -1/6
