    Divide the sum of \[\frac{5}{12}\]and \[\frac{-17}{24}\] by the product of \[\frac{2}{5}\] and \[\frac{7}{4}\]. What is the result?

    A)  \[\frac{-8}{37}\]                               

    B)  \[\frac{-5}{12}\]                   

    C)  \[\frac{6}{31}\]                     

    D)         \[\frac{3}{12}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Sum of \[\frac{5}{12}\] and \[\frac{-17}{24}\] is \[\frac{5}{12}+\left( \frac{-17}{24} \right)=\frac{5}{12}-\frac{17}{24}=\frac{10-17}{24}=\frac{-7}{24}\] Product of \[\frac{2}{5}\] and \[\frac{7}{4}\] is \[\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{7}{4}=\frac{7}{10}\] According to the question, we have \[\frac{-7}{24}\div \frac{7}{10}=\frac{-7}{24}\times \frac{10}{7}=\frac{-5}{12}\]
