Solve 2*1/4*(-pi/4)=

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

Evaluate

$$-\frac{\pi }{8}\approx -0.392699082$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and \frac{1}{4} to get \frac{2}{4}.

$$\frac{2}{4}\left(-\frac{\pi }{4}\right)$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{2}\left(-\frac{\pi }{4}\right)$$

Multiply \frac{1}{2} times -\frac{\pi }{4} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{-\pi }{2\times 4}$$

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$\frac{-\pi }{8}$$
