Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{1.45}{-0.16}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{1.45}{-0.16} = - \frac{145}{16} = -9.0625\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{1.45}{-0.16}& = \left(1 + \frac{45}{100}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{- \frac{16}{100}}\\& = \left(1 + \frac{9}{20}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{- \frac{16}{100}}\\& = \frac{29}{20} \cdot \frac{1}{- \frac{16}{100}}\\& = \frac{29}{20} \cdot \frac{1}{- \frac{4}{25}}\\& = - \frac{145}{16}\end{aligned}\]
