Question

-5/7 . 16\(\dfrac{1}{3}\) + 5/7 . (-23\(\dfrac{2}{3}\))

 

Answer 1

\(=-\dfrac{5}{7}\left(16+\dfrac{1}{3}+23+\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\)

\(=\dfrac{-5}{7}\cdot40=-\dfrac{200}{7}\)

Answer 2

\(-\dfrac{5}{7}.16\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{5}{7}.\left(-23\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\)

\(=\dfrac{-5}{7}.16\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{-5}{7}.23\dfrac{2}{3}\)

\(=-\dfrac{5}{7}.\left(16\dfrac{1}{3}+23\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\)

\(=-\dfrac{5}{7}.40\)

\(=\dfrac{-200}{7}\)
