5∗[−0.6(2.8+1.2)] of 0.3 is equal to:

  1. A
    -1.44
  2. B
    -1.08
  3. C
    -1.2
  4. D
    -3.6

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Using the BODMAS rule, we first evaluate the expression inside the brackets and the "of" operator.
First, solve the innermost addition:

2.8+1.2=4.0
Substitute this back into the square brackets:

−0.6(4.0)=−2.4
Now substitute this into the main expression:

5∗[−2.4] of 0.3
According to precedence rules, "of" represents multiplication that takes priority over standard multiplication/division:

[−2.4] of 0.3=−2.4×0.3=−0.72
Finally, multiply by 5:

5×(−0.72)=−3.6
