Hello!

Answer: =-3. *The answer must have a negative sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

Do remove by parenthesis first.

-4*3/4

Then, multiply by the numbers and fractions.

-3*4/4

Cancel out by the common term and factors of 4.

=-3

It changes positive to negative sign.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

When multiplying by fractions, you just multiply the numerators together, and the denominators. Any whole number can be represented by a fraction over one. So



4 = (4)/(1)


Now, we just multiply


(4)/(1)* (-3)/(4)=(4*-3)/(1*4) =(-12)/(4) =(-3)/(1)=-3


-3
