Question

Help me with this question, 2/3*(-1/2). I don't want the answer in decimal form.

Answer 1

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

When you are adding/subtracting fractions, you need a common denominator.
Multiplying/dividing fractions, however, you don't need to.

When you multiply fractions, just multiply the top together and the bottom together.
(and when you divide fractions, just flip the fraction you're dividing by and multiply)

$\frac{2\times-1}{3\times2}$

$\frac{-2}{6}$

Because both the top and bottom are divisible by 2, we can simplify to $\boxed{-\frac{1}3}$

Answer 2

1/3 is the answer if you want it in fraction form
