Desperate help is needed; can someone help me calculate (3-2/3)(1-5/7)?
I've been trying and I can't make any sense of it.

Hi Ari and welcome to MHB! :D

I've retitled your thread to give a brief description of the problem.

$$\left(3-\frac23\right)\left(1-\frac57\right)=\left(\frac93-\frac23\right)\left(\frac77-\frac57\right)$$

Do you understand the above? If so, can you continue?
