Question

Multiply the sum of 7/8 and 3/4 by the differences of 5/36 from 11/13

Answer 1

Answer:

$=-\frac{331}{288}=-1.14930\dots$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(\frac{7}{8} + \frac{3}{4} )\times (\frac{5}{36} - \frac{11}{13} )\\\\\mathrm{Join}\:\frac{7}{8}+\frac{3}{4}:\quad \frac{13}{8}\\\\=\frac{13}{8}\left(\frac{5}{36}-\frac{11}{13}\right)\\\\\mathrm{Join}\:\frac{5}{36}-\frac{11}{13}:\quad -\frac{331}{468}\\\\=\frac{13}{8}\left(-\frac{331}{468}\right)\\\\=-\frac{13}{8}\times\frac{331}{468}\\\\\mathrm{Cross-cancel\:common\:factor:}\:13\\=\frac{1}{8}\times\frac{331}{36}\\\\=-\frac{1\cdot \:331}{8\times\:36}\\\\=-\frac{331}{288}$
