Question

Solve the following with steps 5/10 * -4/12 - 1/3 - 4/12 * 2/10

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{10}*\frac{-4}{12}-\frac{1}{3}-\frac{4}{12}*\frac{2}{10}\\\\=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{-1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{5}\\\\= \frac{-1}{3}[\frac{1}{2}+1+\frac{1}{5}]\\\\=\frac{-1}{3}[\frac{1*5}{2*5}]+\frac{1*10}{1*10}+\frac{1*2}{5*2}]\\\\=\frac{-1}{3}[\frac{5}{10}+\frac{10}{10}+\frac{2}{10}]\\\\=\frac{-1}{3}[\frac{5+10+2}{10}]\\\\=\frac{-1}{3}*\frac{17}{10}\\\\=\frac{-17}{30}$
