6/4 / -1/2

1 answer

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:

\[ \boxed{-3} \]
