Question

$$-12+\frac{1}{2}$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{23}{2}=-11.5$

Solution Steps

Convert $-12$ to fraction $-\frac{24}{2}$.

$$-\frac{24}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Since $-\frac{24}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-24+1}{2}$$

Add $-24$ and $1$ to get $-23$.

$$-\frac{23}{2}$$
