Answer: -12

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient of 6 and negative one-half can be found by dividing 6 by negative one-half.

Dividing 6 by negative one-half is the same as multiplying 6 by negative 2 (the reciprocal of negative one-half). So:

6 รท (-1/2) = 6 x (-2)

Multiplying 6 by -2 gives:

6 x (-2) = -12

Therefore, the quotient of 6 and negative one-half is -12.
