Question

Simplify
Step by step

Answer 1

-30(0.5)=-30×0.5=-15

Answer 2

-15

Explanation:

To do this problem, we need to multiply two terms.

Since one term is a decimal, in this case, we can rewrite this.

-30(1/2)

1/2 is the same as 0.5.

Now, all you have to do is find half of -30.

Since the negative sign makes things complicated, ignore the negative sign for right now.

Since we are finding half of 30, divide 30 by 2.

30/2=15

Now, add the negative sign.

-15

The answer to -30(0.5) is -15.

Hope this helps! :D

Have a great day!
