3

Explanation:

$\frac{- 48}{- 8} \cdot (\frac{5}{10}) =$ $(-48)/(-8)*(5/10)=$

$= 6 \cdot (\frac{5}{10}) =$ $=6*(5/10)=$

$= \frac{30}{10} =$ $=30/10=$

$= 3$ $=3$

$3$ $3$

Explanation:

When evaluating an expression with $mixed operations$ $color(blue)"mixed operations"$ there is a particular order that must be followed.

Follow the order as set out in the acronym PEMDAS

[Parenthesis (brackets), Exponents (powers), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction]

If the expression consists only of multiplication/division or

addition/subtraction, then evaluate from $left to right$ $color(blue)"left to right"$

$- 48 \div (- 8) \times 5 \div 10$ $-48-:(-8)xx5-:10$

$evaluating from left to right$ $"evaluating from left to right"$

$\Rightarrow 6 \times 5 \div 10 \leftarrow first division$ $rArr6xx5-:10larr" first division"$

$= 30 \div 10 \leftarrow multiplication$ $=30-:10larr" multiplication"$

$= 3 \leftarrow second division$ $=3larr" second division"$
