Answer:

To evaluate the expression (-(7)/(10)+0.15)/(-(1)/(8)), we need to simplify it step by step by following the order of operations (PEMDAS)

Parentheses: First we need to simplify the expressions inside the parentheses,

(7)/(10) = -0.7

-(1)/(8) = -1/8

Addition and Subtraction: Next we need to add and subtract the numbers,

-0.7 + 0.15 = -0.55

Division: Next we need to divide the numbers,

(-0.55) / (-1/8) = -0.55 * 8/-1 = 4.4

So the final result is 4.4

Note that the negative signs in the numerator and denominator can be thought as multiplying by -1.
