You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(2.55 \cdot 1.6\)

MathBot Answer:

\[2.55 \cdot 1.6 = \frac{102}{25} = 4.08\]

\[\begin{aligned}2.55 \cdot 1.6& = \left(2 + \frac{55}{100}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{6}{10}\right)\\& = \left(2 + \frac{11}{20}\right) \cdot \left(1 + \frac{6}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{51}{20} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{6}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{51}{20} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{3}{5}\right)\\& = \frac{51}{20} \cdot \frac{8}{5}\\& = \frac{102}{25}\end{aligned}\]
