Example Question - divide by 2.4

Calculating a Missing Number

First, simplify the expression inside the brackets: \( 5.05 + \frac{2}{5} = 5.05 + 0.4 = 5.45 \) Next, multiply the result by \(-3.5\): \( 5.45 \times (-3.5) = -19.075 \) Now, to find the missing number, divide by 2.4: \( \frac{-19.075}{2.4} = -7.9479166667 \) Rounded to two decimal places: \( -7.95 \)
