1/2 \times 3\times (-2/6)

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 3 \cdot (- \frac{2}{6})

- \frac{1}{2}

Solution steps

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 3 (- \frac{2}{6})

\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}

Cancel the common factor:

2

\frac{1}{3}

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 3 (- \frac{1}{3})

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations

Multiply and divide (left to right)

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 3 (- \frac{1}{3}) : - \frac{1}{2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 3 (- \frac{1}{3})

\frac{1}{2} 3 = \frac{3}{2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 3

Convert element to fraction:

3 = \frac{3}{1}

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{1}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}

= \frac{1 \cdot 3}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 3 = 3

= \frac{3}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{3}{2} (- \frac{1}{3})

Apply rule

a \cdot (- b) = - a \cdot b

\frac{3}{2} (- \frac{1}{3}) = - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3} = - \frac{1}{2}

= - \frac{1}{2}

= - \frac{1}{2}

(3 \cdot 4 \cdot 2)^{2}

3 + 5 - 6

(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}) - \frac{5}{6}

3^{2} - 7

3 (- 8) + 5
