Use the distributivity of multiplication of rational numbers over addition to simplify ¾ × [(8/9) – 40]. |
Answer» We know that the distributivity of multiplication of rational numbers over subtraction, a × (b – c) = a × b – a × c Where, a = -2/7, b = 7/16, c = 21/4 Then, (¾) × [(8/9) – (40)] = ((¾) × (8/9)) – ((¾) × (40)) = ((1/1) × (2/3)) – ((3/1) × (10)) = (2/3) – (30) = (2 – 90)/3 = -88/3 |
