Question

. "-7/4" x "-2/3" "-1/2" - 7/4 x "-4/12"

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$(\frac{ - 7}{4} ) \times ( - \frac{2}{3} ) - \frac{1}{2} - ( \frac{7}{4} )\times - (\frac{4}{12} ) \\ = - \frac{7}{4} ( - \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3} ) - \frac{1}{2} \\ = - \frac{7}{4} ( \frac{ - 2 - 3}{3} ) - \frac{1}{2} \\ = ( - \frac{7}{4} \times - \frac{5}{3} ) - \frac{1}{2} \\ = - \frac{35}{12} - \frac{1}{2} \\ = \frac{ - 35 - 6}{12} \\ = \frac{ - 41}{12}$
