Question

$$-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{1}{2}=$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{1}{8}=-0.125$

Solution Steps

Multiply $\frac{3}{4}$ times $\frac{1}{2}$ by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3\times 1}{4\times 2}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction $\frac{3\times 1}{4\times 2}$.

$$-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{8}$$

Least common multiple of $2$ and $8$ is $8$. Convert $-\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{3}{8}$ to fractions with denominator $8$.

$$-\frac{4}{8}+\frac{3}{8}$$

Since $-\frac{4}{8}$ and $\frac{3}{8}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-4+3}{8}$$

Add $-4$ and $3$ to get $-1$.

$$-\frac{1}{8}$$

Factor

$-\frac{1}{8} = -0.125$
