You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(40 {\left( \frac{-2}{5} \right)}^{2}\)

\[40 {\left( \frac{-2}{5} \right)}^{2} = \frac{32}{5} = 6.4\]


\[\begin{aligned}40 {\left( \frac{-2}{5} \right)}^{2}& = 40 \cdot \left(- \frac{2}{5}\right)^{2}\\& = 40 \cdot \frac{4}{25}\\& = \frac{32}{5}\end{aligned}\]
