Solve 4*-3-6*1/4

$$4 \times -3-6 \times \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{27}{2}=-13.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and -3 to get -12.

$$-12-6\times \frac{1}{4}$$

Multiply 6 and \frac{1}{4} to get \frac{6}{4}.

$$-12-\frac{6}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$-12-\frac{3}{2}$$

Convert -12 to fraction -\frac{24}{2}.

$$-\frac{24}{2}-\frac{3}{2}$$

Since -\frac{24}{2} and \frac{3}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-24-3}{2}$$

Subtract 3 from -24 to get -27.

$$-\frac{27}{2}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{27}{2} = -13\frac{1}{2} = -13.5$$
