simplify \(\frac{\frac{7}{9}-\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}}}\)
The correct answer is D. \(\frac{2}{15}\)
Let's simplify the given expression step by step:
\(\frac{\frac{7}{9} - \frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{3} + \frac{\frac{2}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}}}\)
First, simplify the fractions in the numerator:
\(\frac{\frac{7}{9} - \frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{5}{4}}\)
\(= \frac{\frac{7}{9} - \frac{6}{9}}{\frac{1}{3} + \frac{10}{20}}\)
\(= \frac{\frac{1}{9}}{\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2}}\)
Now, find a common denominator for the fractions in the denominator:
\(= \frac{\frac{1}{9}}{\frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{6}}\)
\(= \frac{\frac{1}{9}}{\frac{5}{6}}\)
Invert and multiply to divide by a fraction:
\(= \frac{1}{9} \cdot \frac{6}{5}\)
\(= \frac{6}{45}\)
Simplify the fraction further:
\(= \frac{2}{15}\)
