(7th grade math) I need a question checked! I'll fan and medal!//
(-1/2)(4x)(-2)(7y)(-1). First I turned 1/2 into a decimal which turned out to be -0.5. Then times it by 4x, (4). That came out to be -2. Multiplied by -2 and got 28. Then multiplied that by -1. So my final answer is -28xy (I added the variables or letters idk)

Is that correct?
