Solve 4(-1/4)-6(1/2)3(-1/3)

$$4 ( - \frac { 1 } { 4 } ) - 6 ( \frac { 1 } { 2 } ) 3 ( - 1 / 3 )$$

Evaluate

$$2$$

Solution Steps

Cancel out 4 and 4.

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

Multiply 6 and \frac{1}{2} to get \frac{6}{2}.

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

Divide 6 by 2 to get 3.

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

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$-1-9\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)$$

Express 9\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right) as a single fraction.

$$-1-\frac{9\left(-1\right)}{3}$$

Multiply 9 and -1 to get -9.

$$-1-\frac{-9}{3}$$

Divide -9 by 3 to get -3.

$$-1-\left(-3\right)$$

The opposite of -3 is 3.

$$-1+3$$

Add -1 and 3 to get 2.

$$2$$

Factor

$$2$$
