Question

Solve - 1/2 + 3/4 × 4/9​

Answer 1

The answer is -1/6.

Explanation:

First, we must multiply 4/9 and 3/4 which gives us 12/36 which simplifies to 1/3.

Next, we find the common denominators of -1/2 and 1/3 which is 6.

Then, we try and make it to where our denominators are equal, -3/6 + 2/6.

Finally, we add. -3/6 + 2/6 = -1/6

Therefore, our answer is -1/6.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

• => -1/2 + 1/3

Next, addition or subtraction. Let's solve to get our result.
