Solve 42*(-2/3)+(-3/4)div0.25

$$42 \times (- \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } )+(- \frac{ 3 }{ 4 } ) \div 0.25$$

Evaluate

$$-31$$

Solution Steps

Express 42\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right) as a single fraction.

$$\frac{42\left(-2\right)}{3}+\frac{-\frac{3}{4}}{0.25}$$

Multiply 42 and -2 to get -84.

$$\frac{-84}{3}+\frac{-\frac{3}{4}}{0.25}$$

Divide -84 by 3 to get -28.

$$-28+\frac{-\frac{3}{4}}{0.25}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{3}{4}}{0.25} as a single fraction.

$$-28+\frac{-3}{4\times 0.25}$$

Multiply 4 and 0.25 to get 1.

$$-28+\frac{-3}{1}$$

Fraction \frac{-3}{1} can be rewritten as -3 by extracting the negative sign.

$$-28-3$$

Subtract 3 from -28 to get -31.

$$-31$$

Factor
