Question

$$( \frac { 2 } { 3 } ) + 6 \div ( - 4 )$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{5}{6}\approx -0.833333333$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction $\frac{6}{-4}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{2}{3}-\frac{3}{2}$$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $2$ is $6$. Convert $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{3}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $6$.

$$\frac{4}{6}-\frac{9}{6}$$

Since $\frac{4}{6}$ and $\frac{9}{6}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{4-9}{6}$$

Subtract $9$ from $4$ to get $-5$.

$$-\frac{5}{6}$$

Factor

$-\frac{5}{6} = -0.8333333333333334$
