Simplify \(\left(\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{3}\right)\times 4\frac{1}{3}\div 3\frac{1}{4}\)

  • A. \(\frac{5}{9}\)
  • B. \(\frac{5}{16}\)
  • C. \(\frac{8}{13}\)
  • D. \(\frac{16}{5}\)

Correct Answer: A. \(\frac{5}{9}\)

Explanation

\((\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{3}) \times 4\frac{1}{3} \div 3\frac{1}{4}\)

= \((\frac{9 - 4}{12}) \times \frac{13}{3} \div \frac{13}{4}\)

= \(\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{13}{3} \times \frac{4}{13}\)

= \(\frac{5}{9}\)
