+14995 What is 3/4 of 8/9 less than 2/5 of 20?
3/4 of 8/9 is
\(\frac{\frac{8}{9}}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{8}{9}\times\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{27}\) not correct
corrected \(\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{8}{9}=\frac{2}{3}\)
2/5 of 20 is
\(\frac{20}{\frac{2}{5}}=20\times\frac{5}{2}=50\) not correct
corrected \(\frac{2}{5}\times 20=8\)
\(50-\frac{32}{7}=\frac{7\times 50-32}{7}=\frac{318}{7}=45\frac{3}{7}\) not correct
corrected \(8-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3\cdot 8-2}{3}=\frac{22}{3}=\color{blue} 7\frac{1}{3}\)
3/4 of 8/9 is \(45\frac{3}{7}\) less than 2/5 of 20 not correct
corrected \(7\frac{1}{3}\)
Please excuse my misjudgment!

The only down side is the question asker doesn’t understand her translation, but the rest of us do.
