\huge\textbf{Hey there!}


\mathbf{(1)/(3)(-15 / (1)/(2))((1)/(4))}\\\\\mathbf{= (1)/(3)(-15/ 0.5)(0.25)}\\\\\mathbf{= (1)/(3)(-30)(0.25)}\\\\\mathbf{= -10(0.25)}\\\\\mathbf{= \boxed{\bf -(5)/(2)}\approx -2.5}\\\\\\\\\\\\\huge\text{\bf Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{Option\ A. -(5)/(2)}}}\huge\checkmark


\huge\textbf{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy}\\\huge\textbf{your day!}
