Question

How do you solve 1/6+(-1/2)

Answer 1

-0.3333

Explanation:

Answer 2

(-1)/3

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

1/6 - 1/2

Put 1/6 - 1/2 over the common denominator 6. 1/6 - 1/2 = 1/6 - 3/6:

1/6 - 3/6

1/6 - 3/6 = (1 - 3)/6:

(1 - 3)/6

1 - 3 = -2:

(-2)/6

The gcd of -2 and 6 is 2, so (-2)/6 = (2 (-1))/(2×3) = 2/2×(-1)/3 = (-1)/3:

Answer: (-1)/3
