Answer» (i) Given ((13/9) × (-15/2)) + ((7/3) × (8/5)) + ((3/5) × (1/2)) ((13/9) × (-15/2)) + ((7/3) × (8/5)) + ((3/5) × (1/2)) = (-195/18) + (56/15) + (3/10) = (-65/6) + (56/15) + (3/10) = (-65/6) × (5/5) + (56/15) × (2/2) + (3/10) × (3/3). = (-325/30) + (112/30) + (9/30) = (-325 + 112 + 9)/30 = (-204/30) = (-34/5) (ii) Given ((3/11) × (5/6)) – ((9/12) × ((4/3)) + ((5/13) × (6/15)) ((3/11) × (5/6)) – ((9/12) × ((4/3)) + ((5/13) × (6/15)) = (15/66) – (36/36) + (30/195) = (5/22) – (12/12) + (1/11) = (5/22) – 1 + (2/13) = (5/22) × (13/13) + (1/1) × (286/286) + (2/13) × (22/22) = (65/286) – (286/286) + (44/286) = (-177/286) |
