23*3/40*3-11*8/15*8
69/120-88/120
69-88/120

23/40-11/15
23*3/40*3-11*8/15*8
69/120-88/120
69-88/120
= -19/20
23/40 - 23/30
= 23(1/40 - 1/30)
= 23(3/120 - 4/120)
= 23(-1/120)
= -23/120
Note above that 23/30 is not 11/15.
= 23(1/40 - 1/30)
= 23(3/120 - 4/120)
= 23(-1/120)
= -23/120
Note above that 23/30 is not 11/15.
