Answer
-6.2
Work Step by Step
First, add together the numbers in the numerator:
$\frac{0.23 + 1.63}{-0.3}$ = $\frac{1.86}{-0.3}$
Now, to make division easier, multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 to get rid of the decimal:
$\frac{1.86 \times 10}{-0.3 \times 10}$ = $\frac{18.6}{3}$
As the division sign means divide, this expression then becomes:
18.6 $\div$ 3
Using long division, complete this division problem. See attached image to see the long division process.
18.6 $\div$ 3 = 6.2
As the divisor of the original problem (-0.3) was negative, our answer must be negative.
The answer is -6.2
