Solve --4(-0,5)(-2)/4(-0,5)

$$- \frac { - 4 ( - 0,5 ) ( - 2 ) } { 4 ( - 0,5 ) }$$

Evaluate

$$-2$$

Solution Steps

Cancel out 4 in both numerator and denominator.

$$-\frac{-2\left(-1\right)\left(-0,5\right)}{-0,5}$$

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the numerator's exponent from the denominator's exponent.

$$-\frac{-2\left(-1\right)}{\left(-0,5\right)^{0}}$$

Multiply -2 and -1 to get 2.

$$-\frac{2}{\left(-0,5\right)^{0}}$$

Calculate -0,5 to the power of 0 and get 1.

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

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$-2$$

Factor

$$-2$$
