Solve -(0.6)^2/2*6.5*10^-3

$$\frac { - ( 0.6 ) ^ { 2 } } { 2 \times 6.5 \times 10 ^ { - 3 } }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{360}{13}\approx -27.692307692$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 0.6 to the power of 2 and get 0.36.

$$\frac{-0.36}{2\times 6.5\times 10^{-3}}$$

Multiply 2 and 6.5 to get 13.

$$\frac{-0.36}{13\times 10^{-3}}$$

Calculate 10 to the power of -3 and get \frac{1}{1000}.

$$\frac{-0.36}{13\times \frac{1}{1000}}$$

Multiply 13 and \frac{1}{1000} to get \frac{13}{1000}.

$$\frac{-0.36}{\frac{13}{1000}}$$

Divide -0.36 by \frac{13}{1000} by multiplying -0.36 by the reciprocal of \frac{13}{1000}.

$$-0.36\times \frac{1000}{13}$$

Multiply -0.36 and \frac{1000}{13} to get -\frac{360}{13}.

$$-\frac{360}{13}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{360}{13} = -27\frac{9}{13} = -27.692307692307693$$
