Question

Evaluate the products 4 × (-3/4)

Answer 1

When multiplying by fractions, you just multiply the numerators together, and the denominators.  Any whole number can be represented by a fraction over one.  So

$4 = \frac{4}{1}$

Now, we just multiply

$\frac{4}{1}\times \frac{-3}{4}=\frac{4\times-3}{1\times4} =\frac{-12}{4} =\frac{-3}{1}=-3$

-3

Answer 2

Hello!

Answer: =-3. *The answer must have a negative sign.*

Explanation:

Do remove by parenthesis first.

-4*3/4

Then, multiply by the numbers and fractions.

-3*4/4

Cancel out by the common term and factors of 4.

=-3

It changes positive to negative sign.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
