EQUATION:
[-4-2(-1/2)] / 1/4
MY ANSWER:
[-4-2(-1/2)] / 1/4
[-4+1] / 1/4
-3 / 1/4
-3/1 / 1/4
-3/1 x 4/1
-1/1 = -12
sorry the last line should be
-12/1 = -12
yes, although you sure use a lot more steps than I :)
-4+1 = -3
-3*4 = -12
lol, I just want to make sure my steps are right :)
To solve the equation [-4-2(-1/2)] / 1/4, we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) to simplify it step by step:
Step 1: Simplify inside the parentheses:
-2(-1/2) = -2 * -1/2 = 1
Step 2: Simplify the numerator:
[-4 + 1] = -3
Step 3: Simplify the denominator:
1/4 remains the same.
Step 4: Divide the numerator by the denominator:
-3 / (1/4)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
-3 * (4/1)
Solve the multiplication:
-3 * 4 = -12
So, the final answer is -12.
