Let’s simplify the expression step by step:
1. Start with the expression: (-8.5(0.3 + 0.4) ÷ (-5) + 0.31).
2. First, simplify inside the parentheses:
[
0.3 + 0.4 = 0.7
]
3. Now substitute this back into the expression:
[
-8.5(0.7) ÷ (-5) + 0.31
]
4. Next, calculate (-8.5(0.7)):
[
-8.5 times 0.7 = -5.95
]
5. Now, divide by (-5):
[
-5.95 ÷ (-5) = 1.19
]
6. Finally, add (0.31):
[
1.19 + 0.31 = 1.50
]
So the simplified answer in decimal form is:
[
boxed{1.50}
]
