-11 x (2/3) and -11 x (-2/3)


Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

The first expression is :

[tex]-11\times \dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]

Numerator = -11×2 = -22

Denominator = 3

So, answer will be :

[tex]-11\times \dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{-22}{3}[/tex] (negative)

The second expression is:

[tex]-11\times \dfrac{-2}{3}[/tex]

Numerator = -11×-2 = 22

Denominator = 3

So, the answer will be :

[tex]-11\times \dfrac{-2}{3}=\dfrac{22}{3}[/tex] (positive)

Hence, this is the required solution.
