Question

Simplify: 1/2 × -3/6 ​

Answer 1

$\LARGE\bold{\color{yellow}{\underline{\mathtt{\color{magenta}{Given:↓}}}}}$

$\LARGE\bold\green{Simplify:-}$

• $\large \bold \orange{ \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{ - 3}{6} }$

$\LARGE\bold{\color{yellow}{\underline{\mathtt{\color{pink}{Solution:↓}}}}}$

$\large \bold \pink{\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{ - 3}{6} }$

Multiplying a positive and a negative equals a negative:

$\bold \color{yellow}{(+)×(-)=(-)}$

$\large \bold \green{\implies - \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{3}{6} }$

By reducing the fraction, we get:

$\large \bold \red{ \implies - \dfrac{1}{2} \times { \blue{ \cancel{ \red{\dfrac {3}{6}}}}}}$

$\large \bold \blue{ \implies - \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{(3 \div 3)}{(6 \div 3)} }$

$\large \bold \color{purple}{ \implies - \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{2} }$

Multiply the fractions:

$\large \bold \color{navy}{ \implies - \dfrac{1 \times 1}{2 \times 2}}$

$\large \bold {\color{indigo}\boxed{ \implies - \dfrac{1}{4} } }$

Hence, your answer will be:

$\large \bold {\color{orange}\boxed{ \implies - \dfrac{1}{4} }}$

$\large\bold\orange{✧══════════•❁❀❁•══════════✧}$
