Question

-9 1/2 times 0.04 solve

Answer 1

To solve \(-9 \frac{1}{2} \times 0.04\), first convert \(-9 \frac{1}{2}\) into an improper fraction.

\[
-9 \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{19}{2}
\]

Now, multiply this by \(0.04\). We can convert \(0.04\) into a fraction:

\[
0.04 = \frac{4}{100} = \frac{1}{25}
\]

Now we have:

\[
-\frac{19}{2} \times \frac{1}{25}
\]

Multiply the fractions:

\[
= -\frac{19 \times 1}{2 \times 25} = -\frac{19}{50}
\]

Thus,

\[
-9 \frac{1}{2} \times 0.04 = -\frac{19}{50}
\]

In decimal form, \(-\frac{19}{50} = -0.38\).

Therefore, the final answer is:

\[
-0.38
\]
