$$-7+\frac{2}{4}\times5=$$

$-\frac{9}{2}=-4.5$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{2}{4}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$-7+\frac{1}{2}\times 5$$

Multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ and $5$ to get $\frac{5}{2}$.

$$-7+\frac{5}{2}$$

Convert $-7$ to fraction $-\frac{14}{2}$.

$$-\frac{14}{2}+\frac{5}{2}$$

Since $-\frac{14}{2}$ and $\frac{5}{2}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-14+5}{2}$$

Add $-14$ and $5$ to get $-9$.

$$-\frac{9}{2}$$

$-\frac{9}{2} = -4\frac{1}{2} = -4.5$
