Question

Using appropriate properties, please find

3/5 x (-2/7) - 1/14 x 3/5 - 3/2 x 1/6

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2/3 × 3/5 + 5/2 - 3/5 × 1/6

= 3/5 × (-2/3) + 5/2 - 3/5 × 1/6 [By commutativity of multiplication]

= 3/5 × (-2/3) - 3/5 × 1/6 + 5/2 [By commutativity of addition]

Rearranging to take 3/5 common

= 3/5 × (-2/3 - 1/6) + 5/2

= 3/5 × (-5/6) + 5/2

= -1/2 + 5/2

= 2
