Question

-2 and 1/3 times 1 and 1/2=

Answer 1

Answer:

$-2\frac{1}{3}\times 1\frac{1}{2}=-3.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the product of $-2\frac{1}{3}$ and $1\frac{1}{2}$.

Upon writing our expression as a product we will get,

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

Let us convert our given mixed fractions to improper fractions.

$\frac{-7}{3}\times \frac{3}{2}$

Upon cancelling out 3 from our given expression we will get,

$\frac{-7}{2}$

Upon dividing -7 by 2 we will get,

$\frac{-7}{2}=-3.5$

Therefore, our expression simplifies to -3.5.
