Answer 1

To multiply −1.7 by 212, we can simply multiply the numbers together:

-1.7 * 212 = -360.4

The answer can be written as a mixed number in simplest form by dividing the whole number part (-360) by the decimal part (0.4):

-360 ÷ 0.4 = -900

So the answer as a mixed number in simplest form is:

-900 + 4/10

The fraction can also be simplified:

-900 + 2/5

Therefore, the final answer is:

-900 2/5

Answer 3

Apologies for the error.

To multiply -1.7 by 212, we can multiply the whole numbers and the decimal parts separately.

-1.7 * 212 = -360.4

To write this as a mixed number in simplest form, we divide the whole number part (-360) by the decimal part (0.4):

-360 ÷ 0.4 = -900

So, the whole number of the mixed number is -900.

Next, we need to find the fractional part. We have 0.4 after the decimal point, which can be written as 4/10.

Simplifying this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

4 ÷ 2 = 2
10 ÷ 2 = 5

So, the simplified fraction is 2/5.

Putting it all together, the answer as a mixed number in simplest form is:

-900 + 2/5
