Answer 1

Hey there!

In order for you to solve this particular equation, you have to do , what we call
`PEMDAS`. This word "
`PEMDAS`" means

• 
  `Parentheses`
• 
  `Exponents`
• 
  `Multiplication`
• 
  `Division`
• 
  `Addition`
• 
  `Subtraction`

In this particular
`equation` you have

1. 
   `Multiplication`
2. 
   `Parentheses`
3. 
   `Subtraction`

Firstly, we have to solve what is in the
`parentheses` which is

`(21.69 -`
`24.99)`

Solve that part

`21.69-`
`24.99` ⇒
`-3.3`

Our equation now becomes; and we move on to our next step, which is
`multiplication`

`(1)/(3)`
`(-3.3)`

`(1)/(3) (-3.3)` ⇒
`-1.1`

So, therefore your answer would most likely going to be:
`\boxed{-1.1}`

Note: you necessarily don't have to round your answer because it is around somewhat rounded to the nearest tenth

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
