Answer:

negative 1 over 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

C) 1 over 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative 1 over 2 = [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Now we have to multiply  [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex] by  [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

= [tex]-\frac{1}{2} * -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Remember when you multiply a negative number by a negative number, the result will be in positive. We have to multiply the numerators and the denominators.

=  [tex]-\frac{1}{2} * -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1*1}{2*2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is C ) 1 over 4.
