Answer 2

Answer:

hey mate here is ur answer

we know that the distributive of multiplication of rational number over addition ,( a X ( b+ c) = a X b + a X  c)

=  now we will solve the equation using this identity

= then -5/4) × [(8/5) + (16/15)] = ((-5/4) × (8/5)) + ((-5/4) × (16/15)

= ((-1/1) × (2/1)) + ((-1/1) × (4/3)

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

=(-6 – 4)/3

=-10/3

=-3 1/3

hence, the final answer is -31/3
