Sagot :

Answer:

6.65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I simplified -1 3/4 to a decimal which is -1.75.

Then, I multiplied -1.75 and -3.8 and got 6.65

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction
- 7/4 + (-3.8)
When there is a + in front of an expression in parentheses, the expression remains the same
- 7/4-3.8
Convert the decimal into a fraction
- 7/4 - 19/5
Calculate the difference
- 111/20
Solution -111/20
Alternative form
-5 11/20 , - 5.55
