Simplify:
((13/9) × (-15/2)) + ((7/3) × (8/5)) + ((3/5) × (1/2)) (2 marks)
Given ((13/9) × (-15/2)) + ((7/3) × (8/5)) + ((3/5) × (1/2))
((13/9) × (-15/2)) + ((7/3) × (8/5)) + ((3/5) × (1/2)) = (-195/18) + (56/15) + (3/10)
= (-65/6) + (56/15) + (3/10)
= (-65/6) × (5/5) + (56/15) × (2/2) + (3/10) × (3/3).
= (-325/30) + (112/30) + (9/30)
(1 mark)
= (-325 + 112 + 9)/30
= (-204/30)
= (-34/5)
