OpenStudy (freckles):

is 8/9 closer to 1 or 1/2 or 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[-(3+1) \cdot \frac{3}{2}=\] and the other one is already a half

OpenStudy (freckles):

3+1=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[-(3+\frac{8}{9}) \cdot (1+\frac{1}{2}) \\ = -(3+1) \cdot (1+\frac{1}{2}) \\ = -(4)(\frac{2}{2}+\frac{1}{2}) \\ =-(4)(\frac{3}{2}) \\ =-\frac{12}{2} \\ =-6 \]

OpenStudy (freckles):

the only thing we really had to do was round the 8/9
