Bot GPT 3.5 To evaluate the expression 6-1/4x28-2 1/4, we need to follow the order of operations, which is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
First, we can simplify the fractions:
1/4 = 0.25
2 1/4 = 2 + 1/4 = 2.25
Next, we can perform the multiplication and subtraction:
6 - 0.25x28 - 2.25
Before performing the multiplication, we need to determine if there are any grouping symbols, such as parentheses, that we need to evaluate first. However, there are no parentheses in the expression.
Now, we can perform the multiplication:
6 - 0.25 * 28 - 2.25
0.25 * 28 = 7
6 - 7 - 2.25
Finally, we can perform the subtraction:
-1 - 2.25 = -3.25
Therefore, the value of the expression 6-1/4x28-2 1/4 is -3.25.
