-1/3 x -6/7 = 1 x 6 = 6 divided by 3 x 7= 21
or 6/21
divide both sides by 3 to reduce it = 2/7 and the sign is positive (SINCE TWO NEGATIVES multiplied = a positive)
which kind of makes sense, right, if have 6 of these sevenths,
and you want to have one third of them
that means 6/2 = 3 or 3 sevenths is a third of six sevenths...
