To evaluate the expression:
\[-\frac{3}{4} \times -\frac{1}{5} \div -\frac{1}{4} + -\frac{2}{5}\]
- **Step 1: Simplify the multiplication and division**
- **Step 2: Simplify the addition**
- **Final Result**
First, evaluate \(-\frac{3}{4} \times -\frac{1}{5}\):
\[ -\frac{3}{4} \times -\frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{20} \]
Next, divide by \(-\frac{1}{4}\):
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:
\[ \frac{3}{20} \div -\frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{20} \times -4 \ = -\frac{12}{20} = -\frac{3}{5} \]
Now we are left with:
\[-\frac{3}{5} + -\frac{2}{5}\]
Combine the fractions:
\[ -\frac{3}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = -\frac{5}{5} = -1\]
The final answer for the evaluated expression is:
-1
