Question

$$(2.3-1.2)\div(-0.7)$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{11}{7}\approx -1.571428571$

Solution Steps

Subtract $1.2$ from $2.3$ to get $1.1$.

$$\frac{1.1}{-0.7}$$

Expand $\frac{1.1}{-0.7}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$\frac{11}{-7}$$

Fraction $\frac{11}{-7}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{11}{7}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{11}{7}$$

Factor

$-\frac{11}{7} = -1\frac{4}{7} = -1.5714285714285714$
