To solve the expression, let's break it down step by step using the properties of operations and rules for multiplying and dividing:
First, we multiply -2 by 15:
-2 × 15 = -30
Next, we divide -30 by 23:
-30 ÷ 23 ≈ -1.3043 (rounded to four decimal places)
Then, we multiply -1.3043 by -56:
-1.3043 × -56 ≈ 73.1308 (rounded to four decimal places)
Finally, we divide 73.1308 by 34:
73.1308 ÷ 34 ≈ 2.1515 (rounded to four decimal places)
Therefore, the answer is approximately 2.1515, or in fraction form, 2/3 rounded to four decimal places.
To solve the expression (-2) × (15) ÷ (23) × (-56) ÷ (34), follow these steps:
Step 1: Multiply: (-2) × (15) = -30
Step 2: Divide: -30 ÷ (23) = -1.304347826
Step 3: Multiply: -1.304347826 × (-56) = 73.04347828
Step 4: Divide: 73.04347828 ÷ (34) = 2.149038462
Therefore, the final answer is 2.149038462.
