Question

6/4 / -1/2

Answer 1

To divide \( \frac{6}{4} \) by \( -\frac{1}{2} \), you can multiply \( \frac{6}{4} \) by the reciprocal of \( -\frac{1}{2} \):

\[
\frac{6}{4} \div -\frac{1}{2} = \frac{6}{4} \times -2
\]

Now, simplify \( \frac{6}{4} \):

\[
\frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}
\]

Next, multiply:

\[
\frac{3}{2} \times -2 = -3
\]

So, the result of \( \frac{6}{4} \div -\frac{1}{2} \) is:

\[
\boxed{-3}
\]
