Yes, I’ll help you out girl. :)


(3)/(5) ( - 48.5) = - 29.1

Step by step explanation:


(3)/(5) ( - 48.5)

So,

STEP 1:

Remove Parentheses:


- (3)/(5) * 48.5

STEP 2:

Multiply Fractions:


- ( 3 * 48.5)/(5)

STEP 3:

Multiply the Numbers:


3 * 48.5 = 145.5

Now, it becomes:


- (145.5)/(5)

STEP 4:

Divide the Numbers:


145.5 / 5 = 29.1

So, it equals (-29.1).

I hope this helps!! :)
