                                        Question # 1

Answer:

\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{3}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}

=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}           ∵  \frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}

=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{4}                        ∵   \frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{4}

\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}5,\:4:\quad 20

=-\frac{8}{20}+\frac{5}{20}

\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}

=\frac{-8+5}{20}

\mathrm{Add/Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-8+5=-3

=\frac{-3}{20}

\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}

=-\frac{3}{20}

Therefore,

\frac{-2}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}+\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{1}{6}=-\frac{3}{20}

                                               Question # 2

Answer:

\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5}{28}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}

=-\frac{6}{35}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{14}          ∵    \frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}=-\frac{6}{35}

=-\frac{6}{35}-\frac{1}{140}         ∵   \frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{1}{140}

\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}35,\:140:\quad 140

=-\frac{24}{140}-\frac{1}{140}

\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}

=\frac{-24-1}{140}

\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-24-1=-25

=\frac{-25}{140}

\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b}

=-\frac{25}{140}

\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:5

=-\frac{5}{28}

Therefore,

\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{-3}{7}-\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{14}\times \frac{2}{5}=-\frac{5}{28}
