I apologize for the incorrect answer earlier. The correct answer is -360.
To multiply -1.7 by 212, we can multiply the whole numbers and the decimal parts separately.
First, multiply the whole numbers:
-1 x 212 = -212
Next, multiply the decimal parts:
0.7 x 212 = 148.4
Now, add the results of the whole numbers and the decimal parts:
-212 + 148.4 = -63.6
Therefore, the answer is -63.6.
In mixed number form, we can write -63.6 as negative 63 and 3/5.
