QUESTION 7 Easy

Simplify the following using the distributive property:
\(\frac{7}{9}(\frac{6}{7} − \frac{3}{4})\)

SOLUTION

\(\begin{aligned} \frac{7}{9}(\frac{6}{7} − \frac{3}{4}) &= \frac{7}{9} × \frac{6}{7} − \frac{7}{9} × \frac{3}{4} \\ &= \frac{2}{3} − \frac{7}{12} \\ &= \frac{8 − 7}{12} \\ &= \frac{1}{12} \end{aligned}\)
