Question

−0.7+

Answer 1

$-0.7+\frac{2}{8} =$

[minus, 0, point, 7, plus, 2, divided by, 8, equals]

You can make the denominators the same to combine them, so you can multiply -0.7 by $\frac{8}{8}$

$-0.7(\frac{8}{8})+\frac{2}{8}$

$-\frac{5.6}{8}+\frac{2}{8}=-\frac{3.6}{8}= - 0.45$

Answer 2

ANSWER

$- 0.7 + \frac{2}{8} = -0.45$

EXPLANATION

We want to simplify;

$- 0.7 + \frac{2}{8}$

Simplify the fraction:

$- 0.7 + \frac{1}{4}$

This is now the same as:

$0.25 - 0.7$

We perform the subtraction to obtain,

$-0.45$

Therefore

$- 0.7 + \frac{2}{8} = -0.45$
