Reformat the expression as follows:
-
Multiply the two expressions: \[ \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{4} p = \frac{3}{10} p \] \[ \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{5}{6} w = \frac{1}{3} w \] Thus, combining these results gives: \[ \frac{3}{10} p + \frac{1}{3} w \]
-
Next, multiply the second set of expressions: \[ \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} p = \frac{1}{10} p \] \[ \frac{1}{5} \times 6 \frac{2}{3} w = \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{20}{3} w = \frac{4}{3} w \] Combining these results gives: \[ \frac{1}{10} p - \frac{4}{3} w \]
-
Now combine the terms from both results: For \( p \) terms: \[ \frac{3}{10} p + \frac{1}{10} p = \frac{4}{10} p = \frac{2}{5} p \] For \( w \) terms: \[ \frac{1}{3} w - \frac{4}{3} w = -\frac{3}{3} w = -w \]
-
Therefore, the final result is: \[ \frac{2}{5} p - w \]
