Question

What is the answer for -1/2×1/3

Answer 1

Given the expression:

`\text{ }(-1)/(2)\text{ x }(1)/(3)`

In multiplying fractions, we directly multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator.

We get,

`\text{ }(-1)/(2)\text{ x }(1)/(3)\text{ = }\frac{-1\text{ x 1}}{2\text{ x 3}}`
`\text{ = }(-1)/(6)\text{ = -}(1)/(6)`

Therefore, the product is -1/6.
