Question

$$\frac{ 2 }{ -1/2 }$$

Evaluate

$-4$

Solution Steps

Divide $2$ by $\frac{-1}{2}$ by multiplying $2$ by the reciprocal of $\frac{-1}{2}$.

$$\frac{2\times 2}{-1}$$

Multiply $2$ and $2$ to get $4$.

$$\frac{4}{-1}$$

Fraction $\frac{4}{-1}$ can be rewritten as $-4$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-4$$

Factor

$-4$
