Answer

−177286-\frac{177}{286}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Write down the given expression.

    −(311×(−5)6)−(912÷34)−(513×(−6)15)-\left(\frac{3}{11} \times \frac{(-5)}{6}\right) - \left(\frac{9}{12} \div \frac{3}{4}\right) - \left(\frac{5}{13} \times \frac{(-6)}{15}\right)
  2. Evaluate the first term

    −(311×(−5)6)-\left(\frac{3}{11} \times \frac{(-5)}{6}\right).
    First, multiply the fractions inside the parenthesis:

    311×−56=3×(−5)11×6=−1566\frac{3}{11} \times \frac{-5}{6} = \frac{3 \times (-5)}{11 \times 6} = \frac{-15}{66}

    Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, 3:

    −15÷366÷3=−522\frac{-15 \div 3}{66 \div 3} = \frac{-5}{22}

    Now apply the negative sign outside the parenthesis:

    −(−522)=522-\left(\frac{-5}{22}\right) = \frac{5}{22}
  3. Evaluate the second term

    −(912÷34)-\left(\frac{9}{12} \div \frac{3}{4}\right).
    First, perform the division inside the parenthesis. To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal:

    912÷34=912×43\frac{9}{12} \div \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{12} \times \frac{4}{3}

    Multiply the numerators and denominators:

    9×412×3=3636=1\frac{9 \times 4}{12 \times 3} = \frac{36}{36} = 1

    Now apply the negative sign outside the parenthesis:

    −(1)=−1-(1) = -1
  4. Evaluate the third term

    −(513×(−6)15)-\left(\frac{5}{13} \times \frac{(-6)}{15}\right).
    First, multiply the fractions inside the parenthesis:

    513×−615=5×(−6)13×15=−30195\frac{5}{13} \times \frac{-6}{15} = \frac{5 \times (-6)}{13 \times 15} = \frac{-30}{195}

    Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, 15:

    −30÷15195÷15=−213\frac{-30 \div 15}{195 \div 15} = \frac{-2}{13}

    Now apply the negative sign outside the parenthesis:

    −(−213)=213-\left(\frac{-2}{13}\right) = \frac{2}{13}
  5. Combine the results from Step 2, Step 3, and Step 4.

    The expression becomes:

    522−1+213\frac{5}{22} - 1 + \frac{2}{13}

    To add and subtract these fractions, find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 22 and 13 is 22×13=28622 \times 13 = 286.
    Convert each term to have a denominator of 286:

    522=5×1322×13=65286\frac{5}{22} = \frac{5 \times 13}{22 \times 13} = \frac{65}{286} 1=2862861 = \frac{286}{286} 213=2×2213×22=44286\frac{2}{13} = \frac{2 \times 22}{13 \times 22} = \frac{44}{286}

    Now combine the fractions:

    65286−286286+44286=65−286+44286\frac{65}{286} - \frac{286}{286} + \frac{44}{286} = \frac{65 - 286 + 44}{286} 109−286286=−177286\frac{109 - 286}{286} = \frac{-177}{286}

    The final answer is −177286-\frac{177}{286}.
