Calculate the quotient in the brackets (if you follow PEMDAS/BEDMAS, brackets come first.)

-4/12 = -0.33

-2/15 = -0.133

This gives you (-0.33)(-0.133)

Next, multiply both brackets together.

(-0.33)(-0.133) = appx. 0.044

Now that you have the product of the two brackets, calculate 5/6

5/6 = 0.833

Finally, sum it all up. Since the last two numbers are negative, we subtract them.

0.833 - 0.33 - 0.133 =

Therefore, the answer is 0.37
