You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{-4.86}{1.20}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{-4.86}{1.20} = - \frac{81}{20} = -4.05\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{-4.86}{1.20}& = - \cdot \left(4 + \frac{86}{100}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{1 + \frac{2}{10}}\\& = - \cdot \left(4 + \frac{43}{50}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{1 + \frac{2}{10}}\\& = - \cdot \frac{243}{50} \cdot \frac{1}{1 + \frac{2}{10}}\\& = - \cdot \frac{243}{50} \cdot \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{5}}\\& = - \cdot \frac{243}{50} \cdot \frac{1}{\frac{6}{5}}\\& = - \frac{81}{20}\end{aligned}\]
