Answer 1

Answer:

The ANSWER is 1/2 x (3/5) : (9/15) (-6/4) : (4/1) = -3/16 = -0.1875

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiple: 1/2 * 3/5 = 1 · 3/2 · 5 = 3/10

Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(3, 10) = 1. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.

In other words - one half multiplied by three fifths is three tenths.

Divide: the result of step No. 1 : 9/15 = 3/10 : 9/15 = 3/10 · 15/9 = 3 · 15/10 · 9 = 45/90 = 45 · 1/45 · 2 = 1/2

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 9/

15 is 15/9) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 45 gives 1/2.

In other words - three tenths divided by nine fifteenths is one half.

the result of step No. 2 * (-6/4) = 1/2* (-6/4) = 1 · (-6)/2 · 4 = -6/8 = -3 · 2/4 · 2= -3/4

Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(-6, 8) = 2. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.

In other words - one half multiplied by minus six quarters is minus three quarters.

Divide: the result of step No. 3 : 4 = -3/

4 : 4 = -3/4 · 1/4 = -3 · 1/4 · 4 = -3/16

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 4/

1 is 1/4) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.

In other words - minus three quarters divided by four is minus three sixteenths.
