Exercise 95 Page 126

Practice makes perfect
a To evaluate the expression, we need to rewrite the mixed numbers as fractions. Then we can add them and simplify.
-3 29+ 8 79
- 3 * 9+2/9+8 * 9+7/9
-27+2/9+72+7/9
-29/9+79/9
- 29/9+79/9
-29+79/9
50/9
5 59
b Like in Part A, we will also begin by rewriting the mixed numbers as fractions.
-7 27- 4 15
-7 * 7+2/7-4 * 5+1/5
â–Ľ
Simplify
-49+2/7-20+1/5
-51/7-21/5
-51/7-21/5
-235/35-21/5
-235/35-147/35
â–Ľ
Simplify
-235-147/35
-382/35
- 382/35
- 11 1735
c Like in Parts A and B, we will also begin by rewriting the mixed numbers as fractions.
1 57* 3 67
1* 7+5/7* 3* 7+6/7
7+5/7* 21+6/7
12/7* 27/7
