Question

What is `-15/12* -0.12`?

Answer 1

Since it's negative times negative, the answer is positive, so we might as well leave the minus-signs out.

Explanation:

`=15/12xx0.12`

The `0.12` may be written as `12/100`, so we get:

`=15/cancel12*cancel12/100=15/100=0.15`, or:
`=15/100=(3*cancel5)/(cancel5*20)=3/20`
