To simplify the expression \( \frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{3}{4}p + \frac{5}{6}w\right) + \frac{1}{5}\left(\frac{1}{2}p - 6\frac{2}{3}w\right) \), we will follow these steps:
1. Distribute the terms inside the parentheses.
2. Combine like terms.
### Step 1: Distribute the terms
**First term:**
\[
\frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{3}{4}p + \frac{5}{6}w\right) = \frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{3}{4}p + \frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{5}{6}w
\]
Calculating \( \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{3}{4} \):
\[
\frac{2 \cdot 3}{5 \cdot 4} = \frac{6}{20} = \frac{3}{10}
\]
So, the first term becomes:
\[
\frac{3}{10}p
\]
Calculating \( \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{5}{6} \):
\[
\frac{2 \cdot 5}{5 \cdot 6} = \frac{10}{30} = \frac{1}{3}
\]
So, the first term for \( w \) becomes:
\[
\frac{1}{3}w
\]
Combining these, we have:
\[
\frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{3}{4}p + \frac{5}{6}w\right) = \frac{3}{10}p + \frac{1}{3}w
\]
**Second term:**
\[
\frac{1}{5}\left(\frac{1}{2}p - 6\frac{2}{3}w\right) = \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{2}p - \frac{1}{5} \cdot 6\frac{2}{3}w
\]
Calculating \( \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \):
\[
\frac{1}{10}p
\]
Calculating \( 6\frac{2}{3} \):
\[
6\frac{2}{3} = 6 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{18}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{3}
\]
Now calculate \( \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{20}{3} \):
\[
\frac{20}{15} = \frac{4}{3}
\]
So, the second term becomes:
\[
-\frac{4}{3}w
\]
### Step 2: Combine like terms
Now we combine both parts:
\[
\left(\frac{3}{10}p + \frac{1}{3}w\right) + \left(\frac{1}{10}p - \frac{4}{3}w\right)
\]
Combining the \( p \) terms:
\[
\frac{3}{10}p + \frac{1}{10}p = \frac{4}{10}p = \frac{2}{5}p
\]
Combining the \( w \) terms:
\[
\frac{1}{3}w - \frac{4}{3}w = -\frac{3}{3}w = -w
\]
### Final Answer:
Putting it all together:
\[
\frac{2}{5}p - w
\]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{2}{5}p - w}
\]
1. Distribute the terms inside the parentheses.
2. Combine like terms.
### Step 1: Distribute the terms
**First term:**
\[
\frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{3}{4}p + \frac{5}{6}w\right) = \frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{3}{4}p + \frac{2}{5}\cdot\frac{5}{6}w
\]
Calculating \( \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{3}{4} \):
\[
\frac{2 \cdot 3}{5 \cdot 4} = \frac{6}{20} = \frac{3}{10}
\]
So, the first term becomes:
\[
\frac{3}{10}p
\]
Calculating \( \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{5}{6} \):
\[
\frac{2 \cdot 5}{5 \cdot 6} = \frac{10}{30} = \frac{1}{3}
\]
So, the first term for \( w \) becomes:
\[
\frac{1}{3}w
\]
Combining these, we have:
\[
\frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{3}{4}p + \frac{5}{6}w\right) = \frac{3}{10}p + \frac{1}{3}w
\]
**Second term:**
\[
\frac{1}{5}\left(\frac{1}{2}p - 6\frac{2}{3}w\right) = \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{2}p - \frac{1}{5} \cdot 6\frac{2}{3}w
\]
Calculating \( \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \):
\[
\frac{1}{10}p
\]
Calculating \( 6\frac{2}{3} \):
\[
6\frac{2}{3} = 6 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{18}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{3}
\]
Now calculate \( \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{20}{3} \):
\[
\frac{20}{15} = \frac{4}{3}
\]
So, the second term becomes:
\[
-\frac{4}{3}w
\]
### Step 2: Combine like terms
Now we combine both parts:
\[
\left(\frac{3}{10}p + \frac{1}{3}w\right) + \left(\frac{1}{10}p - \frac{4}{3}w\right)
\]
Combining the \( p \) terms:
\[
\frac{3}{10}p + \frac{1}{10}p = \frac{4}{10}p = \frac{2}{5}p
\]
Combining the \( w \) terms:
\[
\frac{1}{3}w - \frac{4}{3}w = -\frac{3}{3}w = -w
\]
### Final Answer:
Putting it all together:
\[
\frac{2}{5}p - w
\]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{2}{5}p - w}
\]

Sure! Here's the simplified expression written in a way that's easier for a 7th grader to understand:
We need to simplify the expression:
\[
\frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{3}{4}p + \frac{5}{6}w\right) + \frac{1}{5}\left(\frac{1}{2}p - 6\frac{2}{3}w\right)
\]
### Step 1: Distribute the Numbers
1. **First part:** Start with \( \frac{2}{5} \):
- Multiply \( \frac{2}{5} \) by \( \frac{3}{4}p \):
\[
\frac{2 \times 3}{5 \times 4} = \frac{6}{20} = \frac{3}{10}p
\]
- Now multiply \( \frac{2}{5} \) by \( \frac{5}{6}w \):
\[
\frac{2 \times 5}{5 \times 6} = \frac{10}{30} = \frac{1}{3}w
\]
So, the first part adds up to:
\[
\frac{3}{10}p + \frac{1}{3}w
\]
2. **Second part:** Start with \( \frac{1}{5} \):
- Multiply \( \frac{1}{5} \) by \( \frac{1}{2}p \):
\[
\frac{1 \times 1}{5 \times 2} = \frac{1}{10}p
\]
- Now multiply \( \frac{1}{5} \) by \( 6\frac{2}{3}w \):
- First, calculate \( 6\frac{2}{3} \):
\[
6\frac{2}{3} = 6 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{18}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{3}
\]
- Now multiply \( \frac{1}{5} \) by \( \frac{20}{3} \):
\[
\frac{20}{15} = \frac{4}{3}w \quad \text{(since it's negative, it becomes } -\frac{4}{3}w\text{)}
\]
So, the second part adds up to:
\[
\frac{1}{10}p - \frac{4}{3}w
\]
### Step 2: Combine Everything
Now put the first part and second part together:
\[
\left(\frac{3}{10}p + \frac{1}{3}w\right) + \left(\frac{1}{10}p - \frac{4}{3}w\right)
\]
1. **Combine \( p \) terms:**
\[
\frac{3}{10}p + \frac{1}{10}p = \frac{4}{10}p = \frac{2}{5}p
\]
2. **Combine \( w \) terms:**
\[
\frac{1}{3}w - \frac{4}{3}w = -\frac{3}{3}w = -w
\]
### Final Result
Putting it all together, we get:
\[
\frac{2}{5}p - w
\]
So, the simplified expression is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{2}{5}p - w}
\]
We need to simplify the expression:
\[
\frac{2}{5}\left(\frac{3}{4}p + \frac{5}{6}w\right) + \frac{1}{5}\left(\frac{1}{2}p - 6\frac{2}{3}w\right)
\]
### Step 1: Distribute the Numbers

- Multiply \( \frac{2}{5} \) by \( \frac{3}{4}p \):
\[
\frac{2 \times 3}{5 \times 4} = \frac{6}{20} = \frac{3}{10}p
\]
- Now multiply \( \frac{2}{5} \) by \( \frac{5}{6}w \):
\[
\frac{2 \times 5}{5 \times 6} = \frac{10}{30} = \frac{1}{3}w
\]
So, the first part adds up to:
\[
\frac{3}{10}p + \frac{1}{3}w
\]
2. **Second part:** Start with \( \frac{1}{5} \):
- Multiply \( \frac{1}{5} \) by \( \frac{1}{2}p \):
\[
\frac{1 \times 1}{5 \times 2} = \frac{1}{10}p
\]
- Now multiply \( \frac{1}{5} \) by \( 6\frac{2}{3}w \):
- First, calculate \( 6\frac{2}{3} \):
\[
6\frac{2}{3} = 6 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{18}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{3}
\]
- Now multiply \( \frac{1}{5} \) by \( \frac{20}{3} \):
\[
\frac{20}{15} = \frac{4}{3}w \quad \text{(since it's negative, it becomes } -\frac{4}{3}w\text{)}
\]
So, the second part adds up to:
\[
\frac{1}{10}p - \frac{4}{3}w
\]
### Step 2: Combine Everything
Now put the first part and second part together:
\[
\left(\frac{3}{10}p + \frac{1}{3}w\right) + \left(\frac{1}{10}p - \frac{4}{3}w\right)
\]
1. **Combine \( p \) terms:**
\[
\frac{3}{10}p + \frac{1}{10}p = \frac{4}{10}p = \frac{2}{5}p
\]
2. **Combine \( w \) terms:**
\[
\frac{1}{3}w - \frac{4}{3}w = -\frac{3}{3}w = -w
\]
### Final Result
Putting it all together, we get:
\[
\frac{2}{5}p - w

We need to simplify the expression:
(2/5)(3/4 p + 5/6 w) + (1/5)(1/2 p - 6 2/3 w)
Step 1: Distribute the Numbers
1. First part: Start with (2/5):
- Multiply (2/5) by (3/4 p):
(2 * 3) / (5 * 4) = 6 / 20 = 3/10 p
- Now multiply (2/5) by (5/6 w):
(2 * 5) / (5 * 6) = 10 / 30 = 1/3 w
So, the first part adds up to:
3/10 p + 1/3 w
2. Second part: Start with (1/5):
- Multiply (1/5) by (1/2 p):
(1 * 1) / (5 * 2) = 1/10 p
- Now multiply (1/5) by (6 2/3 w):
- First, calculate 6 2/3:
6 2/3 = 6 + 2/3 = 18/3 + 2/3 = 20/3
- Now multiply (1/5) by (20/3):
20 / 15 = 4/3 w (since it's negative, it becomes -4/3 w)
So, the second part adds up to:
1/10 p - 4/3 w
Step 2: Combine Everything
Now put the first part and second part together:
(3/10 p + 1/3 w) + (1/10 p - 4/3 w)
1. Combine p terms:
3/10 p + 1/10 p = 4/10 p = 2/5 p
2. Combine w terms:
1/3 w - 4/3 w = -3/3 w = -w
Final Result
Putting it all together, we get:
2/5 p - w
So, the simplified expression is:
