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

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

Evaluate

$$-\frac{1}{4}=-0.25$$

Solution Steps

Multiply -3 times \frac{1}{3}.

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

Fraction \frac{-1}{-2} can be simplified to \frac{1}{2} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

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

Multiply \frac{1}{2} times -\frac{1}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

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

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\left(-1\right)}{2\times 2}.

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

Fraction \frac{-1}{4} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{4} by extracting the negative sign.

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

Factor

$$-\frac{1}{4} = -0.25$$
