Answer:

-48.9582

Step-by-step explanation:

Given problem,

(-2.655) · (18.44)

Since, direct multiplication is quiet calculative,

Thus, for easing the calculation we simplify the expression,

(-2.655) · (18.44)

[tex]=\frac{-2655}{1000}\times \frac{1844}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{531}{200}\times \frac{461}{25}[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{531\times 461}{5000}[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{531(400+60+1)}{5000}[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{212400+31860+531}{5000}[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{244791}{5000}[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{244.791}{5}[/tex]

[tex]=-48.9582[/tex]
