Question

Write in simplest form

Answer 1

Answer:

1 1/3 is your simplest form

Step-by-step 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.
