Question 515331: What is (3/4+ 9/10)(2/3+-8/15
Answer by oberobic(2304)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The is a missing parenthesis in the problem statement, so I will assume it is:
(3/4+ 9/10)*(2/3+(-8)/15)
.
The answer is 11/50.
.
But how do you get there?
.
solve each half of the multiplication separately
.
(3/4+9/10) = 15/20 + 18/20 = 33/20
.
(2/3 - 8/15) = 10/15 - 8/15 = 2/15
.
then multiply and simplify
.
33/20 * 2/15 = 66/300 = 11/50
.
Done.
