Evaluate the expression.

Question

0.7×(–0.8––0.1×–2)

Write your answer as an integer or a decimal. Do not round.

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( 0.7 \times (-0.8 - (-0.1 \times -2)) \), we follow the order of operations.

First, we calculate the multiplication inside the parentheses:

\[ -0.1 \times -2 = 0.2 \]

Now substitute this back into the expression:

\[ 0.7 \times (-0.8 - 0.2) \]

Next, we perform the subtraction inside the parentheses:

\[ -0.8 - 0.2 = -1.0 \]

Now the expression simplifies to:

\[ 0.7 \times -1.0 \]

Finally, we multiply:

\[ 0.7 \times -1.0 = -0.7 \]

Thus, the evaluated expression is:

\[ \boxed{-0.7} \]
