Simplify (-3/5) × {(3/7) + (-5/6)} by using suitable property. Also name the property.

Answer»

The arrangement of the given rational number is as per the rule of distributive law over addition.

= (-3/5) × {(3/7) + (-5/6)}

The LCM of the denominators 7 and 6 is 42

(3/7) = [(3×6)/ (7×6)] = (18/42)

and (-5/6) = [(-5×7)/ (6×7)] = (-35/42)

= -3/5 [(18 – 35)/42]

= -3/5 [-17/42]

= (-3/5) × (-17/42)

= 51/210 … [divide both denominator and numerator by 3]

= 17/30
