To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
The multiplication of 1/6 and -1/2 is:
(1/6) * (-1/2) = (1 * -1) / (6 * 2) = -1/12.
Therefore, the answer is negative 1/12.
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) together and the denominators (the numbers on the bottom) together.
In this case, you should multiply 1/6 by -1/2:
(1/6) * (-1/2)
Multiply the numerators together: 1 * -1 = -1.
Multiply the denominators together: 6 * 2 = 12.
So the answer is -1/12.
Therefore, the correct answer is negative 1 over 12.
To multiply fractions, you need to multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) together and then multiply the denominators (the numbers on the bottom) together.
In this case, you want to multiply 1/6 by -1/2.
1/6 * -1/2 = (1 * -1) / (6 * 2)
The numerator is 1 * -1 = -1, and the denominator is 6 * 2 = 12.
So, the answer is -1/12.
Therefore, the correct answer choice is "negative 1 over 12".
