Solve -1/2+2/1/frac{2{4}}

$$\frac{ - \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } + \frac{ 2 }{ 1 } }{ \frac{ 2 }{ 4 } }$$

Evaluate

$$3$$

Solution Steps

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$\frac{-\frac{1}{2}+2}{\frac{2}{4}}$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{4}{2}.

$$\frac{-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{4}{2}}{\frac{2}{4}}$$

Since -\frac{1}{2} and \frac{4}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{\frac{-1+4}{2}}{\frac{2}{4}}$$

Add -1 and 4 to get 3.

$$\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{2}{4}}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}$$

Divide \frac{3}{2} by \frac{1}{2} by multiplying \frac{3}{2} by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.

$$\frac{3}{2}\times 2$$

Cancel out 2 and 2.

$$3$$

Factor

$$3$$
