Simplify: (\(\frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{3}\)) x 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)

  • A. \(\frac{1}{60}\)
  • B. \(\frac{5}{72}\)
  • C. \(\frac{1}{10}\)
  • D. 1\(\frac{7}{10}\)

Correct Answer: C. \(\frac{1}{10}\)

Explanation

(\(\frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{3}\)) x 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)

= (\(\frac{9 - 8}{12} \times \frac{6}{5}\))

= \(\frac{1}{12} \times \frac{6}{5}\)

= \(\frac{1}{10}\)
