Step 2.1.1

Factor $3$ out of $6$ .

$p = \frac{1}{3 (2)} \cdot - 9$

Step 2.1.2

Factor $3$ out of $- 9$ .

$p = \frac{1}{3 \cdot 2} \cdot (3 \cdot - 3)$

Step 2.1.3

Cancel the common factor.

$p = \frac{1}{3 \cdot 2} \cdot (3 \cdot - 3)$

Step 2.1.4

Rewrite the expression.

$p = \frac{1}{2} \cdot - 3$

$p = \frac{1}{2} \cdot - 3$

Step 2.2

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $- 3$ .

$p = \frac{- 3}{2}$

Step 2.3

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$p = - \frac{3}{2}$

$p = - \frac{3}{2}$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$p = - \frac{3}{2}$

Decimal Form:

$p = - 1.5$

Mixed Number Form:

$p = - 1 \frac{1}{2}$
