Question

$-1\frac{60}{100}+0.1 + \frac{1}{4}=\square$ enter the answer as an exact decimal or simplified fraction.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed - number to decimal

First, convert $-1\frac{60}{100}$ to decimal. $1\frac{60}{100}=1 + 0.6=1.6$, so $-1\frac{60}{100}=-1.6$.

Step2: Add the decimals

We have the expression $-1.6 + 0.1+\frac{1}{4}$. Convert $\frac{1}{4}$ to decimal, $\frac{1}{4}=0.25$. Then $-1.6+0.1 + 0.25$. First, $-1.6+0.1=-1.5$. Then $-1.5 + 0.25=-1.25$.

Answer:

$-1.25$
