First, let's break down the expression:
3.5 - 1 1/5 * 4.5
To subtract mixed numbers, we need to convert the mixed number 1 1/5 to an improper fraction.
1 1/5 = (5*1 + 1)/5 = 6/5
Now we can substitute this back into the expression:
3.5 - 6/5 * 4.5
Next, we'll multiply the fraction by 4.5:
6/5 * 4.5 = 27/5
Now we have:
3.5 - 27/5
To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator:
3.5 = 17.5/5
Now we can subtract:
17.5/5 - 27/5 = (17.5 - 27)/5 = -9.5/5 = -1.9
So the expression simplifies to -1.9.
Now we'll continue with the remainder of the expression:
-1.9 + 0.19 + 50
Next, we add the decimal numbers:
-1.9 + 0.19 = -1.71
Finally, we add the result to 50:
-1.71 + 50 = 48.29
Therefore, the final result of the expression is 48.29.
