What is - 1/2 times 6 what does it equal?

6 times - 1/2 = - 3 because half of 6 is 3

The answer is - 3 because when you multiply by 1/2 you divide by the bottom number which would be 2 divided by 6 which = 3 but when you multiply by a negative number you have to remember same signs are positive different signs are negative and since the numbers both have different signs than the answer would be negative.
