Answer:
Question 3
Given expression:
![\sf \left((-8)/(9) * (1)/(-5)\right)+\left((-8)/(9) * (-7)/(11)\right)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/xdc6n3xvhwg3aigrhf4ait1pkw9mlxquj6.png)
Both parentheses share a common term.
To factor out a common term: ab + ac = a(b + c)
![\textsf{Factor out the common term }(-8)/(9)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/pjed50lohf30mf9a8jscp31x5i3z7q6fce.png)
![\sf \implies(-8)/(9) * \left((1)/(-5)+(-7)/(11)\right)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/1bpxtlb9dfukewn9cm8djs8lap2jtlrn6d.png)

Question 4
To calculate the amount of money Rajni had to begin with, sum the three amounts she spent:
![\sf \implies total=10\frac14+25\frac34+16\frac12](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/45ksjtuput54g19huhaven4yo88g25vd1t.png)
As
, then:
![\sf \implies 10+\frac14+25+\frac34+16+\frac12](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/xquisx36butx9tehyx2hlpf8hlmfulcqor.png)
Collect and sum the whole numbers:
![\sf \implies (10+25+16)+\frac14+\frac34+\frac12](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/gd8r1adnxlaz7uipodo68dqq4eurntzwi2.png)
![\sf \implies 51+\frac14+\frac34+\frac12](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/9pvis1d3wt39hl523phrzezzhjb6uie5r4.png)
As
, then
![\sf \implies 51+1+\frac12](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/5q2kzf8yu6x9f17g40vpf02ij0bmc0peoy.png)
![\sf \implies 52+\frac12](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/dtbaj02iiiti56nqxtfdv2qzz27gf0th8b.png)
![\sf \implies 52\frac12](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/yy3m9d91annum0hjfiiv8btvxv7fuyqc72.png)
