Solve 3*11/3+4*-1/2

$$3 \times 1 \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } +4 \times \frac{ -1 }{ 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$2$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 3 to get 3.

$$3\times \frac{3+1}{3}+4\times \frac{-1}{2}$$

Add 3 and 1 to get 4.

$$3\times \frac{4}{3}+4\times \frac{-1}{2}$$

Cancel out 3 and 3.

$$4+4\times \frac{-1}{2}$$

Fraction \frac{-1}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{2} by extracting the negative sign.

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

Express 4\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) as a single fraction.

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

Multiply 4 and -1 to get -4.

$$4+\frac{-4}{2}$$

Divide -4 by 2 to get -2.

$$4-2$$

Subtract 2 from 4 to get 2.

$$2$$

Factor

$$2$$
