\(\frac{7}{21}+\frac{9}{-36}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{-1}{3}=0\)
b. (1-1/5) (-3/10+1/5)
= 4/5.-1/10
=-4/50
a) \(\frac{7}{21}+\frac{9}{-36}\)
\(=\frac{1}{3}+\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)\)
\(=\frac{4}{12}+\left(-\frac{3}{12}\right)\)
\(=\frac{1}{12}\)
b) \(\left(1-\frac{1}{5}\right)\left(-\frac{3}{10}+\frac{1}{5}\right)\)
\(=\frac{4}{5}\left(-\frac{3}{10}+\frac{2}{10}\right)\)
\(=\frac{4}{5}\cdot\left(-\frac{1}{10}\right)\)
\(=-\frac{2}{25}\)
