Question

Evaluate(-7/10 + 0.15) ÷ (-0.125 )A -6.8B -4.4C 4.4D 6.8

Answer 1

SOLUTION

write out the question

$(-7/10+0.15)\div-0.125$

To simplify the question, change fraction to decimal and simplify

Hence

$\frac{7}{10}=0.7$

Then we have

$(-0.7+0.15)\frac{.}{.}-0.125$

According to PEMDAS rule, we evaluate the dividsion operation first

$\begin{gathered} -0.55\frac{.}{.}-0.125 \\ \end{gathered}$

Then, by division, we have

$-0.55\frac{.}{.}-0.125=4.4$

Therefore

Answer: 4.4 (Option C)
