To evaluate the expression \(-5.45 + 4.12 - 8.66\), we can break it down step by step:
-
Start with \(-5.45 + 4.12\): \[ -5.45 + 4.12 = -1.33 \]
-
Now take the result and subtract \(8.66\): \[ -1.33 - 8.66 = -10.00 \]
So the value of the expression \(-5.45 + 4.12 - 8.66\) is \(-10.00\).
Since none of the provided options exactly match \(-10.00\), let's check closely whether any of them could have issues. However, based on the calculations, it appears there is no option that matches our result.
The closest negative option is:
- A: \(-9.99\)
- C: \(-0.91\)
- D: \(-2.99\)
None of these are correct according to our calculation. The initial calculations hold true, affirming \(-10.00\) as the correct calculation result.
