Solve -(61/2)(22/3)

$$- ( 6 \frac { 1 } { 2 } ) ( 2 \frac { 2 } { 3 } )$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{52}{3}\approx -17.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 6 and 2 to get 12.

$$\left(-\frac{12+1}{2}\right)\times \frac{2\times 3+2}{3}$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$-\frac{13}{2}\times \frac{2\times 3+2}{3}$$

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

$$-\frac{13}{2}\times \frac{6+2}{3}$$

Add 6 and 2 to get 8.

$$-\frac{13}{2}\times \frac{8}{3}$$

Multiply -\frac{13}{2} times \frac{8}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{-13\times 8}{2\times 3}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{-13\times 8}{2\times 3}.

$$\frac{-104}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-104}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$-\frac{52}{3}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{52}{3} = -17\frac{1}{3} = -17.333333333333332$$
