3.8 - 1.7 * 6
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(3.8 - 1.7 \cdot 6\)
MathBot Answer:
\[3.8 - 1.7 \cdot 6 = - \frac{32}{5} = -6.4\]
\[\begin{aligned}3.8 - 1.7 \cdot 6& = 3 + \frac{8}{10} - \left(1 + \frac{7}{10}\right) \cdot 6\\& = 3 + \frac{4}{5} - \left(1 + \frac{7}{10}\right) \cdot 6\\& = 3 + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{17}{10} \cdot 6\\& = 3 + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{51}{5}\\& = \frac{19}{5} - \frac{51}{5}\\& = - \frac{32}{5}\end{aligned}\]
