Question

1. Using appropriate properties find.
(i) - 2/3 × 3/5 + 5/2 - 3/5 × 1/6 = ?​

Answer 1

Apply distributive property of multiplication and use of brackets

-2/3*3/5+5/2-3/5*1/6

= 3/5(-2/3+1/6)+5/2

= 3/5(-4+1/6)+5/2

= 3/5(-3/6)+5/2

= 3/5(-1/2)+5/2

= -3/10+5/2

= -3+25/10

= 21/10

hope it helps ✌

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ - 2}{3} \times \frac{3}{5} + \frac{ 5}{2} - \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{6} \\ = \frac{ - 6}{15} + \frac{5}{2} - \frac{3}{30} \\ = \frac{ - 12 + 75 - 3}{30} \\ = \frac{ - 15 + 75}{30} \\ = \frac{60}{30} \\ = 2$
