a) \(\dfrac{3}{5}\times\dfrac{17}{21}+\dfrac{17}{21}\times\dfrac{2}{5}\)
\(=\dfrac{17}{21}\times\left(\dfrac{3}{5}+\dfrac{2}{5}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{17}{21}\times1\)
\(=\dfrac{17}{21}\)
b) \(\dfrac{15}{8}:\dfrac{5}{20}-\dfrac{7}{8}:\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{15}{8}\times\dfrac{20}{5}-\dfrac{7}{8}\times4\)
\(=\dfrac{15}{8}\times4-\dfrac{7}{8}\times4\)
\(=4\times\left(\dfrac{15}{8}-\dfrac{7}{8}\right)\)
\(=4\times1\)
\(=4\)
a) \(\dfrac{3}{5}\) x \(\dfrac{17}{21}+\dfrac{17}{21}\) x \(\dfrac{2}{5}\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{3}{5}+\dfrac{2}{5}\right)\) x \(\dfrac{17}{21}\)
\(=\dfrac{5}{5}\) x \(\dfrac{17}{21}\)
\(=1\) x \(\dfrac{17}{21}\)
\(=\dfrac{17}{21}\)
b) \(\dfrac{15}{8}:\dfrac{5}{20}-\dfrac{7}{8}:\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{15}{8}:\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{7}{8}:\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{15}{8}-\dfrac{7}{8}\right):\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{8}{8}:\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(=1:\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{1}:\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{1}\) x \(\dfrac{4}{1}\)
\(=\dfrac{4}{1}\)
\(=4\)
