Given expression: − 11.50 (1.32 + 0.48).
We need to simplify it and get the answer in decimals.
Note: In order to simplify above given expression, we need to apply order to operations.
According to order to operations, we need to simplify parenthesis first.
So, we need to add 1.32 + 0.48 first.
1.32 + 0.48 = 1.80.
So, − 11.50 (1.32 + 0.48) would become -11.50(1.80).
Now, we need to multiply -11.50 by 1.80.
-11.50(1.80) = -20.7.
<h3>Therefore, final answer is -20.7.</h3>
