-4
4 + -5/2 - 5 = -7/2 = -3 and 1/2
-8
No. -8 multiplied by -4 is 32. (negative x negative = positive)
To help you with future negative multiplications, two negatives= a positive answer. One negative and one positive= a negative. Just multiply like you would normally, but keep those two pointers in mind.
One half of negative five-eighths is calculated by multiplying (-\frac{5}{8}) by (\frac{1}{2}). This results in (-\frac{5}{16}). Thus, one half of negative five-eighths is (-\frac{5}{16}).
1/8
16 multiplied by one-half = 8
4 + -5/2 - 5 = -7/2 = -3 and 1/2
8 multiplied by -3 is -24
one half
4 multiplied by -8 is -32.
-8
3 * (-8) = - 3*8 = -24
No. -8 multiplied by -4 is 32. (negative x negative = positive)
-1/3 x 3/8 = -3/24 or simplify it to -1/8
3 - (-5) + 8(-4) = 8 + (-32) = -24
