The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problems using the rearrangement property, we will follow these steps for each part: ### (i) Find the sum: \( \frac{4}{3} + \frac{3}{5} - \frac{2}{3} - \frac{11}{5} \) **Step 1:** Group the positive and negative fractions. - Positive: \( \frac{4}{3} + \frac{3}{5} \) - Negative: \( -\frac{2}{3} - \frac{11}{5} \) **Step 2:** Calculate the sum of the positive fractions. - LCM of denominators \(3\) and \(5\) is \(15\). - Convert fractions: \[ \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{20}{15} \] \[ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{9}{15} \] - Sum: \[ \frac{20}{15} + \frac{9}{15} = \frac{29}{15} \] **Step 3:** Calculate the sum of the negative fractions. - Convert fractions: \[ -\frac{2}{3} = -\frac{2 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = -\frac{10}{15} \] \[ -\frac{11}{5} = -\frac{11 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = -\frac{33}{15} \] - Sum: \[ -\frac{10}{15} - \frac{33}{15} = -\frac{43}{15} \] **Step 4:** Combine the results. \[ \frac{29}{15} - \frac{43}{15} = \frac{29 - 43}{15} = -\frac{14}{15} \] ### Final Answer for (i): \(-\frac{14}{15}\) --- ### (ii) Find the sum: \( -\frac{8}{3} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{11}{6} + \frac{3}{8} \) **Step 1:** Group the positive and negative fractions. - Positive: \( \frac{3}{8} \) - Negative: \( -\frac{8}{3} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{11}{6} \) **Step 2:** Calculate the sum of the negative fractions. - LCM of \(3\), \(4\), and \(6\) is \(12\). - Convert fractions: \[ -\frac{8}{3} = -\frac{32}{12}, \quad -\frac{1}{4} = -\frac{3}{12}, \quad -\frac{11}{6} = -\frac{22}{12} \] - Sum: \[ -\frac{32}{12} - \frac{3}{12} - \frac{22}{12} = -\frac{57}{12} \] **Step 3:** Combine with the positive fraction. \[ -\frac{57}{12} + \frac{3}{8} \] - LCM of \(12\) and \(8\) is \(24\). - Convert: \[ -\frac{57}{12} = -\frac{114}{24}, \quad \frac{3}{8} = \frac{9}{24} \] - Combine: \[ -\frac{114}{24} + \frac{9}{24} = -\frac{105}{24} \] ### Final Answer for (ii): \(-\frac{105}{24}\) --- ### (iii) Find the sum: \( -\frac{13}{20} + \frac{11}{14} - \frac{5}{7} + \frac{7}{10} \) **Step 1:** Group the positive and negative fractions. - Positive: \( \frac{11}{14} + \frac{7}{10} \) - Negative: \( -\frac{13}{20} - \frac{5}{7} \) **Step 2:** Calculate the sum of the positive fractions. - LCM of \(14\) and \(10\) is \(70\). - Convert fractions: \[ \frac{11}{14} = \frac{55}{70}, \quad \frac{7}{10} = \frac{49}{70} \] - Sum: \[ \frac{55}{70} + \frac{49}{70} = \frac{104}{70} \] **Step 3:** Calculate the sum of the negative fractions. - LCM of \(20\) and \(7\) is \(140\). - Convert fractions: \[ -\frac{13}{20} = -\frac{91}{140}, \quad -\frac{5}{7} = -\frac{100}{140} \] - Sum: \[ -\frac{91}{140} - \frac{100}{140} = -\frac{191}{140} \] **Step 4:** Combine the results. \[ \frac{104}{70} - \frac{191}{140} \] - LCM of \(70\) and \(140\) is \(140\). - Convert: \[ \frac{104}{70} = \frac{208}{140} \] - Combine: \[ \frac{208}{140} - \frac{191}{140} = \frac{17}{140} \] ### Final Answer for (iii): \(\frac{17}{140}\) --- ### (iv) Find the sum: \( -\frac{6}{7} - \frac{5}{6} - \frac{4}{9} - \frac{15}{7} \) **Step 1:** Group the fractions. - Positive: None - Negative: \( -\frac{6}{7} - \frac{5}{6} - \frac{4}{9} - \frac{15}{7} \) **Step 2:** Combine the negative fractions. - LCM of \(7\), \(6\), and \(9\) is \(126\). - Convert fractions: \[ -\frac{6}{7} = -\frac{108}{126}, \quad -\frac{5}{6} = -\frac{105}{126}, \quad -\frac{4}{9} = -\frac{56}{126}, \quad -\frac{15}{7} = -\frac{270}{126} \] - Sum: \[ -\frac{108 + 105 + 56 + 270}{126} = -\frac{539}{126} \] ### Final Answer for (iv): \(-\frac{539}{126}\) ---
