So what's the result? Isn't it 0.3(3)? Isn't 0.3(3) = 1/3 or isn't 0.6 = 3/5?

Feel free to ask more questions if you don't understand something.
Sorry, but you're wrong.

Put this in instacalc: -25/(27*(5/3)) + 8/9

I forgot the additional brackets but this is correct.

-25
----- <----- this fraction is not the same as this:
27x


-25
---- x
27
