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

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
To multiply -1.7 by 212, you would multiply the whole number part and the decimal part separately.
For the whole number part, multiply -1 by 212, which gives you -212.
For the decimal part, multiply 0.7 by 212, which gives you 148.4.
Now add the whole number part and the decimal part together: -212 + 148.4 = -63.6
The answer, written as a mixed number in simplest form, is negative 63 and 3/5.
To solve this problem, we need to multiply −1.7 by 212. The easiest way to do this is by using a calculator.
Using a calculator, multiply 1.7 by 212. The result is 361.4.
To express the answer as a mixed number in simplest form, we need to convert the decimal part to a fraction. Since 0.4 is equivalent to 40/100, we can simplify this fraction to 2/5.
Putting it all together, the answer is:
negative 361 and Start Fraction 2 over 5 End Fraction.
