Question

Find the difference between the products of 2.5 and 7.5 and the sum of 2.75 and 9.55​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of $2.5$ and $7.5$ is $(2.5)(7.5)=(5/2)(15/2)=75/4=18.75$.

The sum of $2.75$ and $9.55$ is $2.75+9.55=(2+9)+(0.75+0.55)=11+1.3=12.3$.

The difference between these is $18.75-12.3=(18-12)+(0.75-0.3)=6+0.45=6.45$.

So, the answer is $\boxed{6.45}$ and we're done!
