Answer:

1 1/27 = 28/27

Explanation:

First you evaluate your parenthesis, and to do that you need to find the Least Common Denominator of 2/3 and 2/9. The least common denominator would be 9. 3 x 3 = 9 so you multiply 2 x 3 = 6. 6/9 - 2/9 = 4/9. 7/3 x 4/9

7 x 4 = 28

3 x 9 = 27

28/27 = 1 1/27

Hey there!


7/3 * (2/3 - 2/9)

= 7/3 * 4/9

= 7(4) / 3(9)

= 28 / 27

≈ 1 1/27


Therefore, the answer should be:

28 / 27

OR

1 1/27


Either should work because they are both equivalent to each other.


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
