Answer 1

To solve the expression (-2) × (15) ÷ (23) × (-56) ÷ (34), we can follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).

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

Next, let's perform the divisions: -30 ÷ 23 = -1.3043... and -1.3043... × (-56) = 73.1739... and 73.1739... ÷ 34 = 2.1544...

Therefore, the answer is approximately 2.1544, which we can round to the nearest hundredth.

So, the correct answer is:

2.1544
