Solve 2*5*10/1div-8*1600

$$\frac { 2 \times 5 \times 10 } { 1 \div - 8 \times 1600 }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{1}{2}=-0.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.

$$\frac{10\times 10}{\frac{1}{-8}\times 1600}$$

Multiply 10 and 10 to get 100.

$$\frac{100}{\frac{1}{-8}\times 1600}$$

Fraction \frac{1}{-8} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{8} by extracting the negative sign.

$$\frac{100}{-\frac{1}{8}\times 1600}$$

Express -\frac{1}{8}\times 1600 as a single fraction.

$$\frac{100}{\frac{-1600}{8}}$$

Divide -1600 by 8 to get -200.

$$\frac{100}{-200}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{100}{-200} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 100.

$$-\frac{1}{2}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{1}{2} = -0.5$$
