Question

(2/3)-3 × (2/3)-2


evaluate

Answer 1

Answer:

28/6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 -3 × 2/3 -2

LHS-

Find the lcm of 3 and 1 (denominator of 3)

LCM is 3.

Since the denominator of 2/3 is already 3, lets change the denominator of 3. The current denominator of 3 is 1. Multiply 3/1 by 3/3. Result is 9/3

2/3-9/3 = -7/3.

RHS-

-7/2 × (2/3)-2

LCM of 3 and 1 is 1. Since the denominator of 2/3 is already 3, lets change the denominator of 2/1. Multiply 2/1 by 3/3. Result is 6/3. 2/3-6/3 = -4/3.

Multiply -7/2 by -4/3. Since multiplication of fractions dont need Lcm, directly multiply denominator and numerator. Your answer is 28/6.
