To write the expression -9/4*(1/18) in simplest form, you can first multiply the numerators and denominators separately. So, -9 times 1 equals -9, and 4 times 18 equals 72. Therefore, the expression simplifies to -9/72. Then, you can simplify further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 9. -9 divided by 9 equals -1, and 72 divided by 9 equals 8. Thus, the simplest form of -9/4*(1/18) is -1/8.
