How do i solve this, plz show steps..

I know that division is by doing it times it's reciprocal

so (11/14 x 5/22) - ( 11/14 x 22/5)

which is (5/28) - ( 3 26/35) is this right?

but then how do i simplify?

  1. 11/14 x 5/22 = 5/2*14 = 5/28

    11/14 x 22/5=242/70

    5/28-242/70

    take LCM and make denomiators same ,

    350/1960 - 6776/1960 = 6426/1960 = 3  546/1960


  2. = ([11/14]/[22/5]) - ([11/14][22/5])

    = ([11/14][5/22]) - 121/35

    = 5/28 - 121/35

    = 25/140 - 484/140

    = - 459/140

    = - 3 39/140

    Answer: - 3 39/140 or - 3.27 6/7 or - 3.28 approximated

  3. (11/14 / 22/5) – ( 11/14 x 22/5)

    = (11/14 ÷ 22/5) – ( 11/14 x 22/5)

    = (11/14 × 5/22) – ( 11/14 x 22/5)

    = (11× 5/14 ×22) – ( 11× 22/14× 5)

    = (55/14 ×22) – ( 242/14× 5) ------------- LCM 14 × 110

    = (55 × 4 – 242 × 22)/14 × 110

    = (220 – 5324)/

    = –5104/1540

    = – 3.31

  4. (11/14 / 22/5) - ( 11/14 x 22/5).

    Here we have the division of two fractions

    minus the multiplication of two fractions.

    The rule is that to divide by a fraction

    is like multiplying by its reciprocal

    And to multiply two fractions

    we multiply the nominators for a new nominator

    and multiply the denominators for a new denom.

    (11/14 times 5/22)

    simplify by dividing the mum. of 1st fr. and denom of 2nd

    by11

    1/14 times 5/2

    5/28

    We can simplify the second part by dividing the num. and denom

    by 2

    11/7 x 11/5

    121/35

    5/28 - 121/35

    find the lowest common denom.

    28 = 4 times 7

    35 = 5 times 7

    comm denom = 4 times 5 times 7 = 140

    25/140 - 484/140

    - 459/140

  5. Don't convert into mixed numerals until the last step.

    (11/14 x 5/22) - ( 11/14 x 22/5) = (5/28) - (24/7)

    = (5/28) - (96/28) = -91/28

  6. (11/14 / 22/5) - ( 11/14 x 22/5)

    (11/14 x 5/22) - (11/14 x 22/5)

    11/14 x (5/22 - 22/5)

    11/14 x (25/110 - 484/110)

    11/14 x (-459/110)

    1/14 x (-459/10)

    -459/140


  7. (11/14 x 5/22) is 5/28

    But check your answer for (11/14 x 22/5).  I got (121/35).

    To subtract (5/28) - (121/35), the fractions must have the same denominators.

    The least common multiple of 28 and 35 is 140.

    (5/28) = 25/140

    (121/35) = 484/140

    (25/140) - (484/140) = -459/140


  8. Ok  times top with top and bottom with bottom so

    (11/14 x 5/22) = (11*5)/(14*22)=(55/308)

    (11/14 x 22/5) = (11*22)/(14*5)=(242/70)

    Now (55/308)-(242/70) = ( (55*70)-(204*308) )   / (308*70)

    (3850-62832) / (21560) = -58982/21560 = -383/140

    Hope that helps

  9. (11/14 * 5/22 ) - ( 242/70 )

    = ( 55/70 ) - ( 242/70)

    = -187/70
