Solve (-2/3)*(-41/2)*(-1/3)=

$$( - \frac { 2 } { 3 } ) \times ( - 4 \frac { 1 } { 2 } ) \times ( - \frac { 1 } { 3 } ) =$$

Evaluate

$$-1$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$-\frac{2}{3}\left(-\frac{8+1}{2}\right)\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)$$

Add 8 and 1 to get 9.

$$-\frac{2}{3}\left(-\frac{9}{2}\right)\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)$$

Multiply -\frac{2}{3} times -\frac{9}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{-2\left(-9\right)}{3\times 2}\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-2\left(-9\right)}{3\times 2}.

$$\frac{18}{6}\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)$$

Divide 18 by 6 to get 3.

$$3\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)$$

Cancel out 3 and 3.
