Full solution

Q. Multiply. 14×(12)=\frac{1}{4} \times \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = _____
  1. Multiply numerators: Multiply the numerators of the fractions.\newlineEvaluate 1×11 \times -1.\newlineMultiply 11 and 1-1.\newline1×1=11 \times -1 = -1
  2. Multiply denominators: Multiply the denominators of the fractions.\newlineEvaluate 4×24 \times 2.\newlineMultiply 44 and 22.\newline4×2=84 \times 2 = 8
  3. Combine results: Combine the results of Step 11 and Step 22 to form the final fraction.\newlineSince 1×1=11 \times -1 = -1 and 4×2=84 \times 2 = 8, the product of the fractions is 18-\frac{1}{8}.
