−10.305‾-10.30\overline{5}

−37136-\frac{371}{36}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

To evaluate the expression without using a calculator, we will simplify the numerator and the denominator separately, following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

The expression is:

0.0625−12.4÷0.4×318 of 2.56+8.68\frac{\sqrt{0.0625} - 12.4 \div 0.4 \times 3}{\frac{1}{8} \text{ of } 2.56 + 8.68}
  1. Simplify the numerator.

    The numerator is 0.0625−12.4÷0.4×3\sqrt{0.0625} - 12.4 \div 0.4 \times 3.
    First, calculate the square root:

    0.0625=62510000=62510000=25100=0.25\sqrt{0.0625} = \sqrt{\frac{625}{10000}} = \frac{\sqrt{625}}{\sqrt{10000}} = \frac{25}{100} = 0.25

    Next, perform the division:

    12.4÷0.4=12.40.4=1244=3112.4 \div 0.4 = \frac{12.4}{0.4} = \frac{124}{4} = 31

    Then, perform the multiplication:

    31×3=9331 \times 3 = 93

    Finally, perform the subtraction:

    0.25−93=−92.750.25 - 93 = -92.75

    So, the numerator is −92.75-92.75.

  2. Simplify the denominator.

    The denominator is 18 of 2.56+8.68\frac{1}{8} \text{ of } 2.56 + 8.68.
    First, calculate "18\frac{1}{8} of 2.56":

    18×2.56=2.568\frac{1}{8} \times 2.56 = \frac{2.56}{8}

    To divide 2.56 by 8:

    2.56÷8=0.322.56 \div 8 = 0.32

    Next, perform the addition:

    0.32+8.68=9.000.32 + 8.68 = 9.00

    So, the denominator is 9.

  3. Divide the numerator by the denominator.

    −92.759\frac{-92.75}{9}

    To perform this division:

    −92.75÷9=−10.30555...-92.75 \div 9 = -10.30555...

    This is a repeating decimal. We can write it as −10.305‾-10.30\overline{5}.
    Alternatively, as a fraction:

    −92.759=−9275900-\frac{92.75}{9} = -\frac{9275}{900}

    Divide both numerator and denominator by 25:

    −9275÷25900÷25=−37136-\frac{9275 \div 25}{900 \div 25} = -\frac{371}{36}

    As a mixed number:

    −(101136)-\left(10 \frac{11}{36}\right)

    The value of the expression is:

    −10.305‾or−37136\boxed{-10.30\overline{5}} \quad \text{or} \quad \boxed{-\frac{371}{36}}
