You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(14.8 \cdot -6.2\)

MathBot Answer:

\[14.8 \cdot -6.2 = - \frac{2294}{25} = -91.76\]

\[\begin{aligned}14.8 \cdot -6.2& = \left(14 + \frac{8}{10}\right) \cdot -1 \cdot \left(6 + \frac{2}{10}\right)\\& = \left(14 + \frac{4}{5}\right) \cdot -1 \cdot \left(6 + \frac{2}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{74}{5} \cdot -1 \cdot \left(6 + \frac{2}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{74}{5} \cdot -1 \cdot \left(6 + \frac{1}{5}\right)\\& = \frac{74}{5} \cdot -1 \cdot \frac{31}{5}\\& = - \frac{74}{5} \cdot \frac{31}{5}\\& = - \frac{2294}{25}\end{aligned}\]
