Solution

Let's go through each problem and solve them step by step. Here are the questions as extracted from the image:

Problem (1)

115×(23)+1151 \frac{1}{5} \times \left( -\frac{2}{3} \right) + 1 \frac{1}{5}

Solution:

  1. Convert 1151 \frac{1}{5} to an improper fraction: 115=651 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5}

  2. Substitute and perform the multiplication: 65×23=1215=45\frac{6}{5} \times -\frac{2}{3} = -\frac{12}{15} = -\frac{4}{5}

  3. Add 115=651 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5}: 45+65=25-\frac{4}{5} + \frac{6}{5} = \frac{2}{5}

Answer: 25\frac{2}{5}


Problem (2)

115×(2)+1151 \frac{1}{5} \times (-2) + 1 \frac{1}{5}

Solution:

  1. Convert 1151 \frac{1}{5} to an improper fraction: 115=651 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5}

  2. Multiply: 65×(2)=125\frac{6}{5} \times (-2) = -\frac{12}{5}

  3. Add 115=651 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5}: 125+65=65-\frac{12}{5} + \frac{6}{5} = -\frac{6}{5}

Answer: 65-\frac{6}{5}


Problem (3)

(113)×(214)7\left(-1 \frac{1}{3}\right) \times \left(-2 \frac{1}{4}\right) - 7

Solution:

  1. Convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions: 113=43and214=94-1 \frac{1}{3} = -\frac{4}{3} \quad \text{and} \quad -2 \frac{1}{4} = -\frac{9}{4}

  2. Multiply: 43×94=3612=3-\frac{4}{3} \times -\frac{9}{4} = \frac{36}{12} = 3

  3. Subtract 7: 37=43 - 7 = -4

Answer: 4-4


Problem (4)

416(12)×(123)-4 \frac{1}{6} - \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) \times \left(-1 \frac{2}{3}\right)

Solution:

  1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions: 416=256and123=53-4 \frac{1}{6} = -\frac{25}{6} \quad \text{and} \quad -1 \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{5}{3}

  2. Perform the multiplication: 12×53=56-\frac{1}{2} \times -\frac{5}{3} = \frac{5}{6}

  3. Combine terms: 25656=306=5-\frac{25}{6} - \frac{5}{6} = -\frac{30}{6} = -5

Answer: 5-5


Problem (5)

(12)×(5)(112)\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) \times (-5) - \left(-1 \frac{1}{2}\right)

Solution:

  1. Convert 112-1 \frac{1}{2} to an improper fraction: 112=32-1 \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{3}{2}

  2. Perform the multiplication: 12×5=52-\frac{1}{2} \times -5 = \frac{5}{2}

  3. Subtract 32-\frac{3}{2}: 52(32)=52+32=82=4\frac{5}{2} - (-\frac{3}{2}) = \frac{5}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4

Answer: 44
