Solution
Here is the step-by-step solution to each part of the problem:
a)
1001⋅1+1001⋅0
- 1001⋅1=1001
- 1001⋅0=0
- Result:
1001+0=1001
b)
−0.2⋅10+0.1⋅20
- −0.2⋅10=−2
- 0.1⋅20=2
- Result:
−2+2=0
c)
−1.7−21.06:(−5.2)
- Division: 21.06÷(−5.2)=−4.05
- Subtraction:
−1.7−(−4.05)=−1.7+4.05=2.35
d)
(−1211+32):43
- Simplify inside the parentheses:
- −1211+32=−1211+128=−123=−41
- Divide:
−41÷43=−41⋅34=−31
- Result:
−31
e)
(61−51):(61+71)
- Subtraction:
- 61−51=305−306=−301
- Addition:
- 61+71=427+426=4213
- Division:
−301÷4213=−301⋅1342=−39042=−657
- Result:
−657
f)
−1.8:41−32⋅(−2.4)
- Division:
- −1.8÷41=−1.8⋅4=−7.2
- Multiplication:
- 32⋅(−2.4)=−34.8=−1.6
- Subtraction:
−7.2−(−1.6)=−7.2+1.6=−5.6
g)
(61+51)⋅(61−51)
- Sum:
- 61+51=305+306=3011
- Difference:
- 61−51=305−306=−301
- Multiplication:
3011⋅(−301)=−90011
- Result:
−90011
h)
(332−172⋅45):(−2.5)
- Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:
- 332=311
- 172=79
- Multiplication:
- 79⋅45=2845
- Subtraction:
311−2845=84308−84135=84173
- Division:
- 84173÷−2.5=84173⋅2.5−1=84173⋅25−1=84⋅5173⋅−2=−420346=−210173
- Result:
−210173
