I know that I have to substitute the m's for 1/2 I just don't understand where you got the 4 from
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when you multiply -8(1/2) you get -4
OpenStudy (gk99):
-4 +15 + 1/2 - 6
11 and 1/2 - 6 = 5 1/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
don't you have to convert 1/2 to a decimal because I dont understand how you would multiply 8 by that fraction
