Question
Find (x + y) ÷ (x − y), if
\[x = \frac{2}{5}, y = \frac{1}{2}\]
Sum
Solution
\[x = \frac{5}{4}, y = \frac{- 1}{3}\]
so`(x+y)÷ (x-y)=(2/5+1/2)÷(2/5-1/2)`
`=9/10xx10/-1=-9`
so`(x+y)÷(x-y)=-9`

What number should be added to \[\frac{- 5}{7}\] to get\[\frac{- 2}{3}?\]
Simplify:
\[\frac{- 3}{2} + \frac{5}{4} - \frac{7}{4}\]
Multiply:
\[\frac{7}{11} \text{by} \frac{5}{4}\]
Multiply:
\[\frac{- 11}{13} \text{by} \frac{- 21}{7}\]
Simplify:
\[\left( \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \right)\]

The table shows the portion of some common materials that are recycled.
| Material | Recycled |
| Paper | `5/11` |
| Aluminium cans | `5/8` |
| Glass | `2/5` |
| Scrap | `3/4` |
