Answer:
(i) -2/3 * 3/5 + 5/2 – 3/5 * 1/6
= -2/3 * 3/5 – 3/5 * 1/6 + 5/2 [Using associative property]
= 3/5 * (-2/3 – 1/6) + 5/2 [Using distributive property]
= 3/5 * {(-4 - 1)/6} + 5/2 [LCM (3, 2) = 6]
= 3/5 * (-5/6) + 5/2
= -3/6 + 5/2
= -1/2 + 5/2
= (-1 + 5)/2
= 4/2
= 2
(ii) 2/5 * (3/-7) – 1/6 * 3/2 + 1/14 * 2/5
= 2/5 * (-3/7) + 1/14 * 2/5 – 1/6 * 3/2 [Using associative property]
= 2/5 * (-3/7 + 1/14) – 1/2 * 1/2 [Using distributive property] = 3/5 * {(-4 - 1)/6} + 5/2 [LCM (3, 2) = 6]
= 3/5 * (-5/6) + 5/2
= -3/6 + 5/2
= -1/2 + 5/2
= (-1 + 5)/2
= 4/2
= 2
