Question

1/2 • –1 1/3=

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } * \frac{ -5 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 2

that should be -4/3...

Answer 3

So @gaara438125 chose to write that mix fraction as an improper fraction by doing
\[Q \frac{R}{D}=\frac{D \cdot Q+R}{D}\]
\[1 \frac{1}{3}=\frac{3 \cdot 1+1}{3}=\frac{3+1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\]
So we have
\[\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{-4}{3}\]
To multiply fractions, multiply straight across on top and
multiply straight across on bottom.
