To evaluate the given expression, let's first rewrite it clearly:

5 2 5 - 4 ÷ - 1 4 + 1 1 2

It appears that you may mean:

5 - 4 ÷ (1 4) + (1 1 2)

Let's break it down into manageable parts.

Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions

1. Convert 1 1/2 to an improper fraction:

1 1/2 = (1 * 2 + 1) / 2 = (2 + 1) / 2 = 3/2

2. Convert 1 4 to an improper fraction:

1 4 = (1 * 4 + 1) / 4 = (4 + 1) / 4 = 5/4

Step 2: Rewrite the Expression

Now the expression looks like:

5 - 4 ÷ (5/4) + (3/2)

Step 3: Evaluate the Division

Next, we need to deal with the division:

-4 ÷ (5/4) = -4 * (4/5) = -16/5

Now the expression is:

5 - (16/5) + (3/2)

Step 4: Convert Whole Number to Fraction

Convert 5 to a fraction:

5 = 25/5

Now the expression becomes:

(25/5) - (16/5) + (3/2)

Now we need to perform the subtraction:

(25/5) - (16/5) = (25 - 16) / 5 = 9/5

Step 5: Add the Remaining Fraction

Now we add (3/2) to (9/5):

To do this, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 2 and 5 is 10.

(9/5) can be converted to (18/10) and (3/2) to (15/10):

(18/10) + (15/10) = (18 + 15) / 10 = 33/10

Step 6: Final Result

The final answer is:

33/10

This can also be expressed as a mixed number:

33 ÷ 10 = 3 with a remainder of 3, thus:

3 3/10

This leads us to conclude:

Your final answer is:

33/10 or 3 3/10.

Let's evaluate the expression step-by-step:

Given expression: -5 × (0.3 + -0.9) - 2

Step 1: Simplify inside the parentheses: 0.3 + (-0.9) = 0.3 - 0.9 = -0.6

Step 2: Multiply: -5 × (-0.6) = 3

Step 3: Subtract 2: 3 - 2 = 1

Final answer: 1
