Answer 1

$\huge\tt{\bold{\underline{\underline{Answer᎓}}}}$

Explanation:

$= > ( \frac{1}{2} ) - 3 + ( \frac{1}{3} ) - 2 + ( \frac{1}{2} ) - 1$

$= > \frac{1}{2} - 3 + \frac{1}{3} - 2 + \frac{1}{2} - 1$

$= > \frac{1 - 6}{2} + \frac{1 - 6}{3} + \frac{1 - 2}{2}$

$= > - \frac{5}{2} - \frac{5}{3} - \frac{1}{2}$

$= > \frac{ - 15 - 10 - 3}{6} = \frac{ - 25 - 3}{6} = \frac{ - 28}{6}$

$= - \frac{14}{3} (answer)$
