Question

What is the value of the expression? Drag and drop the answer into the box to match the expression. 0.9(1/2−2)+0.6

Answer 1

The answer would be: -0.75
I distributed the 0.9 to the .5 (I converted the fraction to a decimal) and the 2, afterwards I kept the parenthesis and subtracted the 0.45 with the positive 1.8 and I got -1.35. Then I added -1.35 to 0.6 and that's how I got -0.75 to be the solution.

I am probably wrong, but you could try doing PEMDAS after distributing the 0.9 to the .5 and 2. :)

Answer 2

The value of the expression
`0.9 \cdot ((1)/(2)-2)+0.6` is -0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: the expression
`0.9 \cdot ((1)/(2)-2)+0.6`

BODMAS acronym is;

B - Bracket

O - Orders

D -Division

M - Multiplication

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

Using BODMAS rule in the given expression, first solve the bracket terms;

`(1)/(2) -2 = (1-4)/(2) = (-3)/(2)`

Then we have;

`0.9 \cdot (-3)/(2) - 9`

next, multiply the terms 0.9 and
`(-3)/(2)` we get

`-1.35 +0.6`

then, Add the above numbers;

`-1.35 +0.6` = -0.75

Therefore, the value of given expression is, -0.75
