Question

(-7/12).5/11+(-7/12).5/11-1/3

Answer 1

\(=\dfrac{5}{11}\cdot\dfrac{-14}{12}-\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{-5}{11}\cdot\dfrac{7}{6}-\dfrac{1}{3}\)

\(=\dfrac{-35}{66}-\dfrac{22}{66}=\dfrac{-57}{66}=-\dfrac{19}{22}\)

Answer 2

`(-7/12) . 5/11 + (-7/12) . 5/11- 1/3`

`=-7/12 - 5/11 - 7/12 . 5/11 - 1/3`

`=[ -7/12 . (5/11 +5/11)] - 1/3`

`= [-7/12 . 10/11] - 1/3`

`=-35/66 -1/3`

`=-35/66 - 22/66`

`=(-35-22)/66`

`=-19/22`
