Question

Simplyfy using appropiate properties 1/4×2/5+-1/6×3/2+3/7×2/5 ​

Answer 1

3/140

Explanation:

1/4 × 2/5 + (-1/6) × 3/2 + 3/7 × 2/5 ​=

= 2/20 - 3/12 + 6/35

**********************************************

We need the LCD of 20, 12, 35.

20 = 2^2 * 5

12 = 2^2 * 3

35 = 5 * 7

LCD = 2^2 * 3 * 5 * 7 = 420

**********************************************

= 42/420 - 105/420 + 72/420

= 9/420

= 3/140

Answer 2

-1/35

Explanation:

* means multiply

because of pemdas you should do three multiplication parts first

(1/4×2/5)+(-1/6×3/2)+(3/7×2/5)

1/20 - 3/12 + 6/35

3/60 - 15/60 + 6/35

-12/60 + 6/35

-1/5 + 6/35

-7/35 + 6/35

-1/35
