-3 5/7 X -2 1/2
I really don't understand


Sagot :

Answer:

[tex] - 3 \frac{5}{7} x - 2\ \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{ - 26}{7} - \frac{5}{2} [/tex]

LCM of 7 and 2 is 14

Multiplying (-26/7) with 1/2 (to make the denominator 14) and -5/2 with 1/7

[tex] \frac{ - 26}{7} \times \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{1}{7} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{ - 26}{14} - \frac{5}{14} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{ - 26 - 5}{14} [/tex]

[tex] - \frac{31}{14} [/tex]

I think the X is multiplication

-3 5/7 x -2 1/2 = 26/7 x 5/2 = 130/14 = 65/7 = 9 2/7
