Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.

$$\frac{1}{2}-6=-\frac{11}{2}$$

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{12}{2}.

$$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{12}{2}=-\frac{11}{2}$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{12}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{1-12}{2}=-\frac{11}{2}$$

Subtract 12 from 1 to get -11.

$$-\frac{11}{2}=-\frac{11}{2}$$

Compare -\frac{11}{2} and -\frac{11}{2}.
