\(\frac{7}{\frac{1}{5}} + \frac{5}{\frac{1}{7}} =\)


A. 35/74

B. 74/35

C. 35

D. 70

E. 74

Key property: \(\frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}} = a \times \frac{c}{b}\)

So, \(\frac{7}{\frac{1}{5}} + \frac{5}{\frac{1}{7}} = (7 \times \frac{5}{1}) + (5 \times \frac{7}{1}) = (7 \times 5) + (5 \times 7) = 35 + 35 = 70 \)

Answer: D

\(=\frac{7*5}{1} + \frac{5*7}{1}\)

\(= 35 + 35\)

\(= 70\), Answer must be (D)

here if we simplify the equation we get
7/(1/5) = 7*5
and 5/(1/5) = 7*5

when we add both we get (7*5)+(7*5)
=35+35
= 70
