Question

The dash in-front of the whole number is a negative sign, Just a little heads up :)

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

We need to solve the following expression:

`\begin{gathered} -5\cdot2\text{ }(1)/(4) \\ =-5\cdot(8+1)/(4) \\ =-5\cdot(9)/(4) \\ =-(45)/(4) \\ =-11.25 \end{gathered}`

Finally we obtain that the result is -11.25.
