Question

The dash in-front of the whole number is a negative sign, Just a little heads up :)

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

We need to solve the following expression:

$\begin{gathered} -5\cdot2\text{ }\frac{1}{4} \\ =-5\cdot\frac{8+1}{4} \\ =-5\cdot\frac{9}{4} \\ =-\frac{45}{4} \\ =-11.25 \end{gathered}$

Finally we obtain that the result is -11.25.
