Sure, let's solve the given problem step-by-step.
We need to multiply [tex]\(-2.45\)[/tex] by [tex]\(7\)[/tex].
[tex]\[
-2.45 \times 7
\][/tex]
When we multiply a negative number by a positive number, the result is negative. So, we can already determine the result will be negative.
Next, let's focus on the absolute values. We need to find the product of [tex]\(2.45\)[/tex] and [tex]\(7\)[/tex]. Doing such computation, we arrive at a detailed precise result:
[tex]\[
2.45 \times 7 = 17.15
\][/tex]
Now, considering the sign, since [tex]\(-2.45\)[/tex] is negative and we are multiplying by a positive number, the final result should be:
[tex]\[
-17.15
\][/tex]
Thus,
[tex]\[
(-2.45) \cdot (7) = -17.150000000000002
\][/tex]
Hence, the result of [tex]\((-2.45) \cdot (7)\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{-17.150000000000002}
\][/tex]
