Answer

First find the sum of 135 and −127\dfrac{13}{5} \text{ and } \dfrac{-12}{7} and the product of −317 and 1−2\dfrac{-31}{7} \text{ and } \dfrac{1}{-2}.

Note that LCM of 5 and 7 is 35.

Finding the sum,

135+−127=13×7+(−12)×535=91−6035=3135\dfrac{13}{5} + \dfrac{-12}{7} = \dfrac{13 \times 7 + (-12) \times 5}{35} \\[1em] = \dfrac{91 - 60}{35} \\[1em] = \dfrac{31}{35}

Finding the product,

−317×1−2=(−31)×17×(−2)=−31−14=3114\dfrac{-31}{7} \times \dfrac{1}{-2} = \dfrac{(-31) \times 1}{7 \times (-2)} \\[1em] = \dfrac{-31}{-14} = \dfrac{31}{14}

Dividing the sum by the product,

3135÷3114=3135×1431=31×1435×31=1435=25\dfrac{31}{35} \div \dfrac{31}{14} = \dfrac{31}{35} \times \dfrac{14}{31} \\[1em] = \dfrac{31 \times 14}{35 \times 31} \\[1em] = \dfrac{14}{35} = \dfrac{2}{5}

Hence, the required quotient is 25\mathbf{\dfrac{2}{5}}.
