Answer:
1 1/3 is your simplest form
Explanation:
Remember to follow PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).
First, note the division. To solve division with fractions, you must take the following steps:
Take the fraction in the denominator (or the one directly to the right of the division sign), flip the fraction, and change the division into multiplication:
(-1/3)/(6/7) = (-1/3) x (7/3)
Simplify.
-1 x 7 = -7
3 x 3 = 9
5/9 - (-7/9)
combine like terms:
5/9 - (-7/9) = 5/9 + 7/9 = 12/9
Simplify the fraction.
12/9 = 9/9 + 3/9
9/9 = 1 ; (3/9)/(3/3) = 1/3
1 1/3 is your simplest form.
