Solve [8-4(-3)]div(-2*5)^3

$$[ 8 - 4 ( - 3 ) ] \div ( - 2 \times 5 ) ^ { 3 }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{1}{50}=-0.02$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and -3 to get -12.

$$\frac{8-\left(-12\right)}{\left(-2\times 5\right)^{3}}$$

The opposite of -12 is 12.

$$\frac{8+12}{\left(-2\times 5\right)^{3}}$$

Add 8 and 12 to get 20.

$$\frac{20}{\left(-2\times 5\right)^{3}}$$

Multiply -2 and 5 to get -10.

$$\frac{20}{\left(-10\right)^{3}}$$

Calculate -10 to the power of 3 and get -1000.

$$\frac{20}{-1000}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{-1000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20.

$$-\frac{1}{50}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{1}{50} = -0.02$$
