[tex]\bf \cfrac{1}{4}\times \cfrac{-2}{3}\implies \cfrac{1\times -2}{4\times 3}\implies \cfrac{-2}{12}\implies \stackrel{simplified}{-\cfrac{1}{6}}[/tex]
I suggest getting a TI84 Plus calculator! It may not be necessary now, but it'll definitely help later on!
Just type in (1/4)x(-2/3), press math, select fraction (assuming you want a fraction) and you'll get your answer.
Or you could multiply the numerators together (1x-2), and then the denominators together (4x3) and then reduce it to get -1/6.
