The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr² where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))². If the diameter of the logo increases by 60% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{60\text{%}}{2} \) = 30%

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.

There are 3 3-passenger taxis available so that's 3 x 3 = 9 total seats. There are 11 people needing transportation leaving 11 - 9 = 2 who will have to find other transportation.

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50] and the first few multiples of 9 are [9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [45, 90] making 45 the smallest multiple 5 and 9 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{2 x 9}{5 x 9} \) - \( \frac{7 x 5}{9 x 5} \)

\( \frac{18}{45} \) - \( \frac{35}{45} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:

\( \frac{18 - 35}{45} \) = \( \frac{-17}{45} \) = -\(\frac{17}{45}\)
