You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(42 - \frac{1}{-1.6}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[42 - \frac{1}{-1.6} = \frac{341}{8} = 42.625\]
\[\begin{aligned}42 - \frac{1}{-1.6}& = 42 - \frac{1}{- \left(1 + \frac{6}{10}\right)}\\& = 42 - \frac{1}{- \left(1 + \frac{3}{5}\right)}\\& = 42 - \frac{1}{- \frac{8}{5}}\\& = 42 + \frac{5}{8}\\& = \frac{341}{8}\end{aligned}\]
