Question

1/3(21.69−24.99) Enter your answer, as a decimal to tenths, in the box.

Answer 1

First, using the order of operations, you would solve inside of the parenthesis.

`(1)/(3)` (21.69 - 24.99)

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

Next, you would solve the remainder of the equation.

`(1)/(3)` × -3.3 = -1.1

Now, all you would need to do is round the decimal to the nearest tenths (It doesn't need to be rounded in this case).
-1.1

The answer would be -1.1.

I hope this helps!
