Solve (-1/6+1/4)div(-2)=

$$( - \frac { 1 } { 6 } + \frac { 1 } { 4 } ) \div ( - 2 ) =$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{1}{24}\approx -0.041666667$$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 6 and 4 is 12. Convert -\frac{1}{6} and \frac{1}{4} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$\frac{-\frac{2}{12}+\frac{3}{12}}{-2}$$

Since -\frac{2}{12} and \frac{3}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{\frac{-2+3}{12}}{-2}$$

Add -2 and 3 to get 1.

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

Express \frac{\frac{1}{12}}{-2} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{1}{12\left(-2\right)}$$

Multiply 12 and -2 to get -24.

$$\frac{1}{-24}$$

Fraction \frac{1}{-24} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{24} by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{1}{24}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{1}{24} = -0.041666666666666664$$
