0.5 times 0.8 times 2 squared
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(0.5 \cdot 0.8 \cdot {2}^{2}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[0.5 \cdot 0.8 \cdot {2}^{2} = \frac{8}{5} = 1.6\]
\[\begin{aligned}0.5 \cdot 0.8 \cdot {2}^{2}& = \frac{5}{10} \cdot \frac{8}{10} \cdot 2^{2}\\& = \frac{5}{10} \cdot \frac{8}{10} \cdot 4\\& = \frac{8}{2} \cdot \frac{4}{10}\\& = \frac{4}{10} \cdot 4\\& = \frac{2}{5} \cdot 4\\& = \frac{8}{5}\end{aligned}\]
