You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(9.50 \cdot 0.5 \cdot 3.5\)

MathBot Answer:

\[9.50 \cdot 0.5 \cdot 3.5 = \frac{133}{8} = 16.625\]

\[\begin{aligned}9.50 \cdot 0.5 \cdot 3.5& = \left(9 + \frac{5}{10}\right) \cdot \frac{5}{10} \cdot \left(3 + \frac{5}{10}\right)\\& = \left(9 + \frac{1}{2}\right) \cdot \frac{5}{10} \cdot \left(3 + \frac{5}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{19}{2} \cdot \frac{5}{10} \cdot \left(3 + \frac{5}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{19}{2} \cdot \frac{5}{10} \cdot \left(3 + \frac{1}{2}\right)\\& = \frac{19}{2} \cdot \frac{5}{10} \cdot \frac{7}{2}\\& = \frac{95}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{10} \cdot \frac{7}{2}\\& = \frac{19}{4} \cdot \frac{7}{2}\\& = \frac{133}{8}\end{aligned}\]
