Question

a) 1/9 × 4/7 +1/9 × 3/7
b) 5/13 × 189/18 - 5/13× 9/18
c) 12/7 : 4/9 + 9/7 : 4/9
 

Answer 1

a) \(\dfrac{1}{9}\times\dfrac{4}{7}+\dfrac{1}{9}\times\dfrac{3}{7}=\dfrac{1}{9}\times\left(\dfrac{4}{7}+\dfrac{3}{7}\right)=\dfrac{1}{9}\times1=\dfrac{1}{9}\)

b) \(\dfrac{5}{13}\times\dfrac{189}{18}-\dfrac{5}{13}\times\dfrac{9}{18}=\dfrac{5}{13}\times\left(\dfrac{189}{18}-\dfrac{9}{18}\right)=\dfrac{5}{13}\times\dfrac{180}{18}=\dfrac{5}{13}\times10=\dfrac{50}{13}\)

c) \(\dfrac{12}{7}:\dfrac{4}{9}+\dfrac{4}{7}:\dfrac{4}{9}=\dfrac{12}{7}\times\dfrac{9}{4}+\dfrac{4}{7}\times\dfrac{9}{4}=\left(\dfrac{12}{7}+\dfrac{4}{7}\right)\times\dfrac{9}{4}=\dfrac{16}{7}\times\dfrac{9}{4}=\dfrac{144}{28}=\dfrac{36}{7}\)
