Question

The simplified value of the expression $-5.8\left(2.3\right)$.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The simplified value of the expression $-5.8\left(2.3\right)$ is $-13.34$.

Step 1.

The expression $-5.8\left(2.3\right)$.

Step 2. Concept.

The product of two real numbers is obtained when they are multiplied together. That is two or more numbers are separated by multiplication signs $\left(\right),\times \mathrm{or}·$.

 

The product of a negative integer with a positive integer is always negative.

Step 3. Calculation.

Consider the expression $-5.8\left(2.3\right)$.

 

Recall that product of two real numbers is obtained when they are multiplied together. That is two or more numbers are separated by multiplication signs $\left(\right),\times \mathrm{or}·$.

 

Simplify it,

$-5.8\left(2.3\right)=-\left(5.8·2.3\right)$

                 $=-13.34$

 

Thus, the simplified value of the expression $-5.8\left(2.3\right)$ is $-13.34$.
