Multiply −2 1/3⋅1 1/2 Enter your answer, in simplest form, in the box.

Answer 1

-2 1/3 is the same as -2, and 1 1/2 is the same as 3/2. Multiply -2 x 3/2 and get -6/2 which simplified to -3.

Answer 2

- 2 1/3 * 1 1/2

change to improper fractions

-2 1/3 =- (3*2+1)/3=-7/3

1 /12 = (2*1+1)/2 = 3/2

-7/3 * 3/2 = -7/2 * 3/3 = -7/2

Change back to a mixed number

7/2 = 3 with 1 left over

-3 1/2

Answer: - 3 1/2
