You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(6.2 \cdot -0.1\)

MathBot Answer:

\[6.2 \cdot -0.1 = - \frac{31}{50} = -0.62\]


\[\begin{aligned}6.2 \cdot -0.1& = \left(6 + \frac{2}{10}\right) \cdot -1 \cdot \frac{1}{10}\\& = \left(6 + \frac{1}{5}\right) \cdot -1 \cdot \frac{1}{10}\\& = \frac{31}{5} \cdot -1 \cdot \frac{1}{10}\\& = \frac{31}{5} \cdot \frac{-1}{10}\\& = - \frac{31}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{10}\\& = - \frac{31}{50}\end{aligned}\]
