Solve (0.4)(0.4-1)(0.4-2)/3

$$\frac { ( 0.4 ) ( 0.4 - 1 ) ( 0.4 - 2 ) } { 3 }$$

Evaluate

$$0.128$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 1 from 0.4 to get -0.6.

$$\frac{0.4\left(-0.6\right)\left(0.4-2\right)}{3}$$

Multiply 0.4 and -0.6 to get -0.24.

$$\frac{-0.24\left(0.4-2\right)}{3}$$

Subtract 2 from 0.4 to get -1.6.

$$\frac{-0.24\left(-1.6\right)}{3}$$

Multiply -0.24 and -1.6 to get 0.384.

$$\frac{0.384}{3}$$

Expand \frac{0.384}{3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$\frac{384}{3000}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{384}{3000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 24.

$$\frac{16}{125}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {4}}{5 ^ {3}} = 0.128$$
