Answer 1

To solve this problem, we will multiply and divide the given numbers according to the rules and properties of operations.

First, let's start with the multiplication: (-2) × (15) = -30.

Now, let's move on to the division: -30 ÷ 23 = -1.3043 (rounded to four decimal places).

Then, we continue dividing: -1.3043 × (-56) = 72.9296 (rounded to four decimal places).

Finally, we divide once more: 72.9296 ÷ 34 = 2.1456 (rounded to four decimal places).

Therefore, the solution to (-2) × (15) ÷ (23) × (-56) ÷ (34) is approximately 2.1456.
