Question

2 simplify \\(\frac{-1(15 + 4 - 27)}{16}\\).

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the numerator's parentheses

First, calculate the expression inside the parentheses: \(15 + 4 - 27 = 19 - 27 = -8\).

Step2: Multiply by -1

Now, multiply this result by -1: \(-1\times(-8) = 8\).

Step3: Divide by 16

Finally, divide this by 16: \(\frac{8}{16}=\frac{1}{2}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{2}\)
