Question 26844
ask yourself: how many half apples are there in 6 apples? Answer is 12 (ignoring the negative sign).


mathematically:
{{{6/(-1/2)}}}
{{{-6/(1/2)}}} --> you cannot divide fractions. We can however swap the second number (the half) and then multiply, as follows:


{{{-6*(2/1)}}}
or, simply {{{-6*2}}}
--> -12
