Given expression: − 11.50 (1.32 + 0.48).

We need to simplify it and get the answer in decimals.

Note: In order to simplify above given expression, we need to apply order to operations.

According to order to operations, we need to simplify parenthesis first.

So, we need to add 1.32 + 0.48 first.

1.32 + 0.48 = 1.80.

So, − 11.50 (1.32 + 0.48) would become -11.50(1.80).

Now, we need to multiply -11.50 by 1.80.

-11.50(1.80) = -20.7.
