Question

a) \(\dfrac{ 3}{ 4 }\)+\(\dfrac{ -7 }{ 5 }\)+\(\dfrac{ 1 }{ 4 }\)+\(\dfrac{ -3 }{ 5 }\)                                              b) \(\dfrac{ 4 }{ 9 }.\dfrac{7 }{ 11 }-\dfrac{4 }{ 11 }.\dfrac{ 2 }{9 } + \dfrac{ 6 }{ 11 }.\dfrac{ 4 }{ 9 }\)

Answer 1

a) 3/4 + (-7/5) + 1/4 + (-3/5)

= (3/4 + 1/4) + (-7/5 - 3/5)

= 1 - 2

= -1

b) 4/9 . 7/11 - 4/11 . 2/9 + 6/11 . 4/9

= 4/9 . (7/11 - 2/11 + 6/11)

= 4/9 . 1

= 4/9

Answer 2

a) 

\(\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{-7}{5}+\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{-3}{5}\)

\(=\left(\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\right)+\left(\dfrac{-7}{5}-\dfrac{3}{5}\right)\)

\(=1-2\)

\(=-1\)

b)

\(\dfrac{4}{9}.\dfrac{7}{11}-\dfrac{4}{11}.\dfrac{2}{9}+\dfrac{6}{11}.\dfrac{4}{9}\)

\(=\dfrac{28}{99}-\dfrac{8}{99}+\dfrac{24}{99}\)

\(=\dfrac{28-8+24}{99}\)

\(=\dfrac{44}{99}\)

\(=\dfrac{4}{9}\)
