Final answer:

To evaluate the expression 5 - (-0.6) - : (-1 + 0.9), divide -0.6 by -0.1 and subtract the result from 5 to find that the expression evaluates to -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the expression 5 - (-0.6) - : (-1 + 0.9), we need to follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and finally addition and subtraction (from left to right).

First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses: -1 + 0.9 = -0.1.

Now, divide -0.6 by -0.1: (-0.6 / -0.1) = 6.

Finally, subtract 6 from 5: 5 - 6 = -1.
