to get 9 to 45 you multiply it by 5

41 * 9 / 5 * 9 - 32 * 5 / 9 * 5
369 / 45 - 160 / 45
subtract
209/45
This can't be simplified any further
Written into mixed number it is,

Step-by-step explanation:

The first expression is :

$-11\times \dfrac{2}{3}$

Numerator = -11×2 = -22

Denominator = 3

So, answer will be :

$-11\times \dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{-22}{3}$ (negative)

The second expression is:

$-11\times \dfrac{-2}{3}$

Numerator = -11×-2 = 22

Denominator = 3

So, the answer will be :

$-11\times \dfrac{-2}{3}=\dfrac{22}{3}$ (positive)

Hence, this is the required solution.
